People and golfers then, were so polite and thoughtful. Golfers were competitive yet very thoughtful and had extremely good etiquette. The spectators were very well behaved then.
I believe the film starts off with the playoff between Jones and Johnny Farrell at Olympia Fields in 1928. After that it looks like 1929 at Winged Foot.
i learnd so much things about golf or even more interresting, the style of live that is was back in that time. in 2021 not a lot of peoples are still alive that could say that they were there
Love the silence and respect from the crowd.. not like today where everyone has to yell something after each swing and drink alcohol in your face while you swing
@@vadimnimarov8796 I never said I didn't like it.. just more distracting. Golf needs barriers from the crowds like all other major sports.. Looks dangerous to have people worth $10 million next to random strangers who are under the influence of something...
About 270y... the ambassador/ legend/ hands down greatest gift to the sport. One of the 5 people from history I would be honored to meet. I have been blessed with meeting 5 people who have lived in my lifetime that I very much have had that pleasure.
Well he drove off the tee most of the time to stay in fairway and out of bunkers but in one of his thirteen major wins, a par 5 605 yards long slightly uphill up to that point nobody had putt for an eagle and made it, Bobby hit driver-spoon to five feet and canned the putt for the eagle. Contemporary golfers of his era said he could hit over 300 but usually didn't, rough was long and thick bunkers were sand and dirt and some courses raked in furrows or didn't take at all. His 66 in a qualifier at a b open was one of the greatest rounds ever 6800 yards and some thought longer, he could've went lower had he made a few longer putts.
about the same, they would be good. jones would be elite, middle pros middle, etc. its all the same as it ever was. relative to equipment available, nothing has changed in terms of skill versus an amateur.
@@jaybee7890 I believe the difference in the equipment they used in the 1920's and what is being used now would be a huge factor. I heard Gary Player say that he could hit the ball as far when he was 70 as when he was 30 due to modern clubs and golf balls.
same scores. Jones shot 72-69 in the 36 hole playoff at Winged Foot. Difference was course length - about 6600 yards instead of 7400. Jones hit it 250-260 off the tee. Skill level the same, as good as anyone today, better than most.
At a major, Bobby played a par 5 605 yards long slightly uphill, nobody had eagled it, he hit driver - spoon to five feet and made the eagle putt. It was decades before anyone equaled that. He drove to stay in the fairway because rough was long and bunkers were not raked or raked in furrows. Players of his day said he could hit it over 300.
Excellent find. This kind of footage before the 40s is hard to find, with mixed results in quality. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I enjoyed bobbys speach...listening to him was a delight

Oh eat a sock
@@latebloomershorts grow up
Fantastic footage...thanks.
Bobby Jones shot -3 in the 36 hole Playoff defeating Al Espinosa by 23 shots!
The great Bobby Jones. The best and never forgotten!
0:33 Horton Smith .. the first winner of The Masters. 1:04 Gene Sarazen .. the second winner of the same ..
It’s so distracting when they fill the widescreen edges with blurred out extensions. Just let it be 4x3.
@ 4:14 What a gracious winners acceptance speech Bobby Jones gave. It is wonderful to hear him talk with his Georgia accent.
MORE like this please!!

where’s the ball tracer?
😂
I love how little has changed.
It’s exactly the same don’t you think .
Fundamentals of the swing haven't changed at all. Wild.
Smoking while putting. After address, hit the ball within 2 seconds. These are what i love about golf in the old days
I was one of the golfers playing in this match! Time sure flies when you’ve been around the world & back and seen it all. ☕️
Incredible historical document
Love the silence and respect from the crowd.. not like today where everyone has to yell something after each swing and drink alcohol in your face while you swing
i definitly felt that too
but tbh i like how it is now
Well this was during prohibition 😂
Nobody drinks alcohol right in anybody’s face

Nice sound effects with old car hooter in the background. Thats a sound that needs to be brought back with the modern cars.
Outstanding... just outstandig!
does anyone knows how far Bobby Jones drives were off the tee?

Riveting commentary. 😳
This is so incredible! I think any kid can learn how to play golf by using Golf Kinetics too
Awesome
Thanks
It's interesting how when they are driving the ball position is closer to the back foot. Nowadays it's right by the front foot
Daaang those undulations tho
I sometimes wonder what these guys could do with modern equipment.
about the same, they would be good. jones would be elite, middle pros middle, etc. its all the same as it ever was. relative to equipment available, nothing has changed in terms of skill versus an amateur.

Did anyone hear the horn at 1:38 lmfao
😂😂
@2:10 no practice swinging just trusting
Basically, the swing is not different from today's one. The difference is just uniform.
If I could say one word to these people back then, it would be, “Sell!l
ahhh smart comment
I’m in the crowd
So cool
Notice they didn't mark the ball on the green. You had to play it like it was even if mud was on it
And you had to chip over others balls if they were in the way.
@@brianmcg321 yes I forgot about the stymie rule.
Why is Peter Alice not commentating? Thanks for putting it on, great to watch!
I wonder how many in the gallery would be months away from losing their fortunes.
They should make this film in color and HD, I wanna see their clothes they look so cool
How refreshing to not hear "in the hole" and "wooooo" with every shot. I was definitely born in the wrong era.
The commentator provides absolutely nothing lol
Well nothing’s changed in just under 100 years😜
JESUS is GOD. Become HIS disciple ❤
What was there scores back then did they shoot in the 80s 90s sin e there equipment was not as advanced as ours today
same scores. Jones shot 72-69 in the 36 hole playoff at Winged Foot. Difference was course length - about 6600 yards instead of 7400. Jones hit it 250-260 off the tee. Skill level the same, as good as anyone today, better than most.

Man, this is a good sleeping pill
they're all dead
Good
Sarazen was probably the last one to go in 1999.
Creepy thing, most of the people in this video are dead.
first time watching old film mate?
Great footage! Commentating sure has come a long way! Dudes a snooze fest
great footage! i love their pants and high socks.
@VintageGolfFilms
Lol, I have the same brand, type, and model of clubs they are using, and I'm not kidding. 🥲
