That was a great piece, I was in the caddie hut in 2010 (The Open) at St Andrews, Colin was in there, a man walked past with his son, saw Colin and tried to come in for an auto graph,security stopped them, Colin jumped up invited them in, they had no pen for the autographs, Colin went to find a pen and signed for the son. From that day to this, I will not hear a word against that man a “True Gent”

There are two plaques on the 18th fairway. One from where Hogan hit his final shot on Sunday and one from where Rose hit his. Hogan hit a 1 iron to the green when the hole played 458 yards. Rose hit a 4 iron to the green when the hole played 521 yards.

Monty was a golfing god at the time. What a player!

Gotta love Tommy. Dude is amazing!

Monty, scary sometimes watching him when your in the crowd because if you made a noise he was on to you. And he knew who it was lol. But i was a massive fan. I actually had the courage to say hello to him once in the car park when he arrived at one tournament and i was shocked when stopped to talk. You just didnt go near him when he had his game head on.

Sounds like a group of friends having fun on a golf course...you gotta like that.

I'm surprised Monty still got it that close considering he is A. 23 years older and B. surely doesn't have the same adrenaline pumping for this shot as he did when he originally hit it since that had the tournament on the line. There was basically only a few yards difference in carry between the two shots. Of course I assume they are using a modern ball for this so that could explain why it was so close.

To be fair- the old ball is probably the only reason it stopped for him. Urethane ain’t got nothing on good old balata as far as spin goes. New balls go further, but it’s largely due to reduced spin compared to the old ones.

I have a couple of vintage clubs (1960s-mid 90s) and the clubs just feel and play different. Hitting a driver off the deck isn’t easy anyway but take into account that shot was almost 30 years ago and the balls were different, very tough shot.

Tommy is great

What time does recess end for Matt Fitzpatrick?

respect Monty! but this means since 1996 pros have not gotten longer in ability? I'm certain the ball they're using flies even better than the one in 1996.

221 yard driver. Bubba hits his driver off the deck easily 300. What a difference in shaft, club and ball technology.

Not taking anything away from the shot because it is impressive but that driver is a modern day 3 wood which is far easier to hit high and land soft then a modern driver off the deck

Those old school clubs were harder to hit.

I once had about 240 to green with a great lie so decided to go with the driver. Left it 6 ft from the pin. It only traveled about 150 yds in the air and rolled the rest but I did it nonetheless. Still 2 putted for par though 😔

Drivers back then are today’s 3 woods

yes… they tried the old callaway big bertha driver… but in this video balls were not balatas. They played with modern balls.

I hit DoD all the time but never over water!

I was never a Monty fan like most yanks but he has grown on me. At the 06 US Open his collapse was just as bad as Phils for me. I was really pulling for him. Best player to not win a major IMO and it aint even close.

Hello James, you here too?

It may well be an iron shot in today’s game, but isn’t it the conditions of the shot that make it. Hence 20 yr plus old driver ( not sure what monty used back then, looked like a callaway ) 9’ face of the deck? Tommy is a class act so not surprised he nailed it. But shows not as easy if 2 other tour pros could make it.

How can they not hit 220yds

Had to be a Warbird or Great Big Bertha Warbird

220 over water. Lucky Monty had the exact club with him otherwise everyone would be reaching for their 8 irons.

They may have used the original driver, but did they use the same golf ball???

Nitrogen all around you. Greene's

Matt Fitzpatrick is so cute.

221 carry... thas what a 4 iron normally... why are they hitting it so short? Were they using old balls too?

I was gonna say only 221 to the pin and it’s driver? They must be hitting tour balata. No pro v in 1996.

whats that a big bertha driver?

Those guys could hit a 5 iron 220

Why not try something crazy like hitting a 3 Wood? 😂

Stefan Coetzee More like 20 to 40 yards. The spring effect in clubs these days are the reason they hit it so far in the air.

@cscoetzee

@@Drew039 You are missing the point totally. The difference between Fleetwood's 290 yards and 220 yards in the video has never been equal to 20 to 40 yards. And I know all about the COR (coefficient of restitution). There's a limit on the maximum allowed amount, by the way. The reason irons are supposedly carrying further, is because the lie angles have been adjusted by manufacturers who promise more distance - because there is no real standard that must be adhered to. Therefore a 7 iron in Faldo's time is more like an 8 iron today. But we are not talking about irons, are we. We were talking about why Fleetwood hits a new driver 70 to 80 yards further than an old one.

That old driver looks like a 3 wood
