Chase Lewis no, that's a myth. a modern 3 iron has 21 degrees of loft, a 1 has 15-17. Golf clubs are *almost* one club stronger than the old school ones, loft creep is exaggerated a bit. The pros are hitting it longer today because of the ball, because they are fitter and because the game has changed (more emphasis on power vs accuracy). Pro's also practice much harder/more because there is way more money to be won. I think the GI clubs have stronger lofts but they often don't come with long irons and even driving irons with 15 degrees of loft are hard to find.

In layman's terms, it simply cannot have happened and it would be impossible to believe it did happen were it not for the recording of it actually happening. Just look at the way that golf ball curves in a BACKWARDS trajectory in the last 5 feet before it hits the green. That can't happen naturally and also be on such a perfect line with the flagstack (which is moving in the wind). Only a computer simulation would allow that scenario to exist and we all know Jack Nicklaus is flesh and blood. But yeah he is the best golfer of all time, sorry Tiger Woods, and here is proof.

I watched him warming up at the driving range before his round (he was paired with Arnie that day) and he was hitting some 6 iron shots. Each shot was straight and long and it looked like they were shot out of a rifle, they were so perfectly hit. But then Jack turned to his caddy and said, “I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong here”. Man, if I was ever able to hit just one 6 iron as well as Nicklaus did that day at the driving range I would have been ecstatic. Just goes to show you the outstanding talent that Nicklaus had during his days on the PGA Tour.

I have some letters of correspondence between Jack and my Dad. I can only imagine the look on my Dad’s face when he would receive one of them in the mail. My Dad saw Jack at The Open in 1984, I’m sure that was a thrill for him. Jack tied for 10th that year. A great golfer, a humble man from what I know.

He said the best single shot he ever saw, was Tiger's 2nd on the 6th hole on Friday - Impossibly buried ball, feet were buried too, uphill to green like a LOT and noone in their right mind would go for more than either out sideways or 100 yrds risky shot up the hill. Tiger beat the living shit out of that stroke and ended up on the green in two. Thomas stated that noone, as in, NOONE but Tiger, could ever have hit that shot and gotten that result.

I've played on that coast in strong wind. Having any spin going with the wind takes the ball way off line. So, I believe he hit a fade, but the shot was a draw because it rode the wind.

I recall one of the big advantages Nicklaus had was that he could hit the one iron higher and make it land softer than any other pro. Think it was either Trevino or player who said that. Probably an advantage he wouldn’t have today, given the technology and length they hit the ball these days.

I saw Jack once as a student when I was watching practice round at Royal Birkdale - about 3rd or 4th of July 1965. I caught up with him at a hole with an almost pocket green surrounded by bushes and sand dunes. He was way, way down the fairway apparently in the right rough - all I could see was his blond hair. He swung, nothing seemed to happen, then there was a quiet thud - and there was the ball in the centre of the green. I went back to playing tiddly-winks!!

And that folks is how a true pro wins a match!

Thanks for posting this. It's one of the first golf shots I ever remember, along with Doug Sanders' missed putt in 1970, and Trevino and Jacklin at Muirfield in July '72. Some day I really would like to see a professional event on a classic old course where today's bombers had to play with the kind of clubs that Nicklaus, Hogan, etc. had to use. Where we might hear players saying things like 'I hit a soft fade with a 1-iron around a tree'.

I carried a one iron when I was a young strong kid learning the game...the first time I ever broke 100 I hit a really nice approach on a par 5 off the deck with a one iron, chipped up and one putted for a birdie. I ended up going right by the 90's and shot 87 that day...quite the milestone for someone trying hard to become a decent golfer. Shortly after that I started taking lessons and my instructor told me to take the one iron out of my bag that I was going to learn to hit fairway woods...I argued with him and told him I could hit it well at times and he said "I don't want to hear it, you are going to learn to hit fairway woods". Turned out to be a very good advice as that took the game to the next level. I eventually became a 4 handicap and have shot under par a couple times but am now not very active in golf anymore, though with my youngest boy taking it up I have some motivation to play again.

Just a thing of beauty. It was the wedge that gave me fits: I just never got great with it. Probably because practicing the long clubs was so much more fun.🤷‍♂️

For years when we played, my Dad never had a wood in his bag. Used a 1-iron off the tee. There was a hole on our course with a fairway bunker about 230 out and he used to go over it on the fly almost every time. He was about 5'9" and about 140 lbs soaking wet - but had brilliant timing with all his irons! I tried his 1-iron a hundred times, and can only recall hitting it ONCE decently! The 1-iron was invented by the Devil to torture our souls! But what a wonderful shot from one of my favourite golfers of all time to watch!
