Hey I have an equipment question, I have a 3W at 15* and a 5i at 21*, but I’m struggling to find a lefty 3H with 18* loft. Would I be fine with a 19* one even though the distance would be very similar to my 5i?
@@Whale_17TV An 18* 5w, 18* 3H, and 18* 2 iron would all travel different distances based on shaft length and launch conditions due to the varying headshapes and their center of gravity. The only way to figure out what club would slot best between your 3w and 5i would be to test a bunch of options out and gap them appropriately.
GARRETT? Sad that you are now promoting gambling sites. You have thousands and thousands of young, impressionable viewers who look up to, admire, and emulate you. The combined revenue for all of these gambling industry companies, has now reached $44 billion dollar a year. Yes, $44 BILLION! The revenues have actually double to that in less than one year. As we are all now very aware of, these companies have now taken over every sport, as the lucrative partnerships between them and college and professional sports teams/leagues is irresistible. The problem of course is that gambling is quickly becoming the number one addiction now in this country. Most who gamble with these companies have a hard enough time buying gas and groceries. Families are now suffering as people get desperate for a big payoff to compensate for their growing debt. The fact is that of all of the bets that are placed, only 4.2% are winners That means that nearly 96% of all of the money bet is lost to these predatory parasites. And of course...their is no moral checks on them anymore! The entire country has been turned away from right or wrong and a sane and healthy moral compass. Our society is dying due to it. People lie, cheat and steal now like never before. Violent crime if through the roof and corruption is everywhere, from the halls of the government, to corporate board rooms, to local school boards and city councils. WE HAVE TRULY FALLEN VERY FAR! Now, I am positive that there will be many here who will attack me for pointing out the obvious and ruining their hedonistic moments, but there are many here, including Garrett Clark, who claim to be great Christians, while they benefit directly from promoting this behavior. Garrett certainly doesn't need the money he gets from the gambling companies, and there are plenty of other more wholesome companies out there who would sponsor him. However, most of the people who gambling don't have the same size bank accounts. Most are living from pay check to pay check, or are in extreme credit card debt. Many of you who are reading this can relate to what I'm saying here. It seems that there is no shame anymore...it is a very poor direction we are headed in. This is my little way of trying to help change that trend! Thanks for your consideration...and may God bless you all!
Because I'm a total nerd for this kind of stuff, I looked up the 1920 British Open on Wikipedia. The course that day played 3,062yds. on the front 9 and 3,591yds. on the back 9 for a total yardage of 6,653 yds. George Duncan was the winner. His four rounds were 80-80-71-72 for a 4 round total of 303 strokes... He won 75 British Pounds for his efforts.
I have and occasionally play my dad's Gene Sarazen clubs from the 1920s. I'm 85 and have been playing golf off and on since the mid 1940s. Never very good, I must add. Lots of the old clubs, wooden heads and shafts, were soaked in water before playing. Growing up we lived in East Texas, Gregg County. Most of the courses were simply cow pasture courses, 4500 to 5000 yards, and some still had ranging cattle. Unfortunately, many were converted to housing developments right after WW2. I thoroughly enjoy your golf outings. Some remind me of some of our high school antics..
Love Blake's energy thru this - I was pulling for him to have a career day when he went 5 under. Mo's great too. And that's a *gem* of a course. Excellent vid. :)
Garrett that was one of the best rounds I have watched on RUclips this year. That takes a tremendous amount of patience and skill to pull off what you did in this video. What an amazing time this was and I would love to see more stuff like this from you. You can call it The Decades Challenge and find sets from every ten years apart until you reach todays clubs and have these matches and see where you come out in the end. Keep bringing the fire G, your one of the best when it comes to creating fun content to watch.
Don't get me wrong, I love Colin and those boys' style of filming/editing for Good Good, they're incredible, but Ryder just consistently entrances me with his style in the gm_golf vids man. I genuinely love how much you can always see he's trying to find neat new shots, angles, filming styles, etc. Truly a master of his craft and adds such a great level of professionalism to the channel. Also always has great energy when he's on camera! Kudos dude! (and anyone else who may have worked on these vids BTS)

to answer your question about the yardages back then most golf courses were not built with 18 holes so that messes with the yardages a lot. If you watch some of NLUs trip to Scotland youll see that the older courses they play are between 4500-6300 yards.
The courses back then was crazy though. Lots of hills, elevation changes and blind shots. They were essentially built on and between the natural sand dunes. The biggest change in tech is also probably the balls that go much further and more straight than they used to.
1920 us open was 6569 yard par 71 won by Ted Ray with an avrage score of 73 per day. At the end of the 1st day the low was 69. Most pros back then shot in the mid 70s on the hardest golf courses. Plus you have to account for things like back then you couldn't pick your ball up when putting and even had to shoot around or chip over other players balls in your way when putting. Plus your playing in all mannors of conditions unlike today.
Love watching people using older clubs. I still use my dad's ancient Chi Chi Rodriguez 2 wood. It has awesome loft for a wood and is great on long Par 3's. An old friend, long since departed, had a set of persimmon woods that he was a wizard with. One day, he used the 3 wood off the tee. There was a crack like an explosion and the head sheared off the shaft. He was devastated, especially since the head of the 3 wood actually went farther up the fairway than the ball...Great video guys. Blake and Mo are naturals for these sort of golf challenges.
Garrett, a great friend of mine, who is a scratch golfer only plays hickory shafts now. He won his last tournament he was in. He organized and ran a State hickory shaft tournament last year. He wants to play in the September hickory national tournament in Wisconsin. Would you like to see if you could collaborate with him for a RUclips video? He lives in Central Indiana.
His name is David Cotton. He was the high school State runner-up his Junior and Senior years, played college golf and play for a short while on the mini pro tour.
Ive been watching gm and good good since the beginning and the way you ended this video might have been the best feels of a video youve ever shot @Gmgolf!!!!

Deer Chase is easily one of my favorite courses down at the Ozarks. Pure and quiet course. Cool to see you playing a course I’ve been playing for a long time. Keep up the good work brother☝🏽
I really enjoyed that, guys! It'd be nice to see an 18 hole match with all the Good Good guys playing with the old clubs, if you could find enough of them. 👍🏻
Ryder killed it editing this one!! Garrett don’t forget that the ball you are using is miles ahead of the ball they were using back in the day as well. That would add several strokes because their ball would not go nearly as far as even the supersoft today. Guys that were around 10th place averaged mid to upper 70s.
One of those clubs was marked with Westward Ho! Which was the home course of JH Taylor, 5 times British open champion and the oldest course in England!
One of my favourite videos of your Garrett. Would love yo see you at St.Andrews doing exactly the same. You've got the look down,you need some more old clubs though 👍
I grew up playing on a course my grandfather built with 2 other men and two horses (early 1930s). Turtle back greens were tough. Grandfather said they dug the sand traps and piled the dirt up for the greens. Hand cut greens with a manual cutter. Horses pulled a fairway mower. Grew up playing with a 9 iron as my highest loft club. Most par 3s were 270 yards or less, 4s up to 470, and 5s higher.
I was the assistant superintendent on 2 Donal Ross courses built in the 20’s. Tee to green is real close meant for walking. Courses range from 6100 to 7000 yds long.
Hell of a last shot to end on man! I tried getting into golfing last year but sucked so bad and didn’t have much time to practice so kind of stopped. Definitely going to give it another shot after watching your videos. Thanks for the inspiration!
Jumped off my seat on that last hole. Incredible. Ive golfed maybe a couple dozen times. But watching your videos is kinda inspiring me to get out there more 👀
As part of the Distance Insights project, a joint venture of the USGA and the R&A to study the past, present and future impacts of distance in golf, the USGA examined golf course aerial photographs to learn how individual courses changed over time and to compare courses from different decades. The USGA studied 80 random courses - public and private, from different regions, and representing courses that opened in different decades, from the 1920s through the 2010s. Among the key findings: Most recent courses have the biggest footprints. Courses from the earliest three decades (the 1920s, 30s and 40s) had an average footprint of 152.3 acres. Courses from the three most recent decades had an average footprint of 216.3 acres - an increase of 64 acres. Understandably, course length was closely tied to footprint size. The shortest courses (less than 6,000 yards from the back tees) averaged 112.7 acres in overall footprint and had 18.2 acres of fairways. The longest courses (greater than 7,500 yards from the back tees) averaged 217.1 acres and had 35.2 acres of fairways. In comparing maps of individual courses over the years, the study found the average fairway area decreased by more than 9 acres from the earliest map year to the most recent map year. Total area for greens and bunkers also declined. Greens shrunk from 109,077 square feet to 101,197, while bunkers contracted from 82,573 square feet to 76,823, on average.

Hey Garrett I just recently got into golf and im not very good, but i just wanted to thank you and the other Good Good guys for inspiring me to keep trying to get better at it. Keep up the amazing content brother, it is my favorite thing to watch now.
I played in a hickory shafted club event in myrtle beach, one of the most fun rounds of gold I've ever played. The driver was impossible to hit but there was a driving iron that i absolutely loved.
Hey Garrett - would love to see you do a Payne Stewart tribute round when your next at Paynes Valley.... all wearing the plus 4's with a Beret.... maybe using 80's blades, persimmon woods and balata balls...!
This vlog was so fun G!! Play more hickories and maybe soup them up and find the best hickory clubs you can buy! I bet youll play better with some fitted and refined hickory clubs
I just started playing again after 15 years and my friend said he had a set of clubs for me to have. The driver is from the 70's with a wooden head and it is crazy! Gotta dial it in and go for it!
Good video. I liked watching early GM golf with you and Michah. I dont care for Good Good. This video is getting back to that OG feel that was fun to watch.

The latest golf ball type you could use to be authentic is a balata ball with a wound rubber core. From 1908. Could have dimples. I think you proved the clubs can be usable with a modern ball. I started playing in 1975. I used to find Titleist balatas on the course with huge smiley faces deeply cut into the cover. No chance those go as straight or as far as a modern ball. For me, and even good golfers back then 250 yds was good from the tee with a balata. With a surlyn I could reach 300 yd par 4's, downwind at least. I could get to a 600 yd par 5 driver, 3 wood, again downwind in Kansas.
I just played at the oldest course in the county where i live (bay area california) and the ourse is about 6k yards from the tips. You play a couple holes from different tees. The course is called gilroy golf club and it was opened in 1923
I would like to see Part 2 of this after spending some time with these clubs at the range to figure out their distances. Pros knew their clubs, you are basically flying blind and guessing.

Total area for greens and bunkers also declined. Greens shrunk from 109,077 square feet to 101,197, while bunkers contracted from 82,573 square feet to 76,823, on average.

Impossible not to love this dude. We are going to Scheels this weekend while we are in DFW. I get $250 limit and 5 minutes to grab what I can for Fathers Day. From my fiance. Heading straight to the GoodGood Apparel. Hope they actually have XL this time lol
Love seeing mo out there more and more!
Hey Garrett I just recently got into golf and im not very good, but i just wanted to thank you and the other Good Good guys for inspiring me to keep trying to get better at it. Keep up the amazing content brother, it is my favorite thing to watch now.
My best is a 92 so far. Keep working at it, bud! We'll get good.
I played in a hickory shafted club event in myrtle beach, one of the most fun rounds of gold I've ever played. The driver was impossible to hit but there was a driving iron that i absolutely loved.
Hey Garrett - would love to see you do a Payne Stewart tribute round when your next at Paynes Valley.... all wearing the plus 4's with a Beret.... maybe using 80's blades, persimmon woods and balata balls...!
That 9 iron needs to go in the bag! Lowkey the best you’ve chipped in a while. Great content as always!
This vlog was so fun G!! Play more hickories and maybe soup them up and find the best hickory clubs you can buy! I bet youll play better with some fitted and refined hickory clubs
59:41 I about died laughing watching this.
What a fun, chill vibe vid. Thanks!
Loved the chip in Garret! You were hunting that hole all day!
This was the best video ever. It had it all. wow
Some clean sniping skills by our boy Ryder
I just started playing again after 15 years and my friend said he had a set of clubs for me to have. The driver is from the 70's with a wooden head and it is crazy! Gotta dial it in and go for it!
Good video. I liked watching early GM golf with you and Michah. I dont care for Good Good. This video is getting back to that OG feel that was fun to watch.
G is just insane when it comes to playing with non modern clubs or random objects 😂
The editing is next level, it makes the content which is also great, amazing!
Absolutely need the Good Good throwback drop 🔥🔥🔥
I liked the video when you got the eagle. I tried to like it a second time when you got your birdie. Good game!

Most recent courses have the biggest footprints. Courses from the earliest three decades (the 1920s, 30s and 40s) had an average footprint of 152.3 acres. Courses from the three most recent decades had an average footprint of 216.3 acres - an increase of 64 acres.
Understandably, course length was closely tied to footprint size. The shortest courses (less than 6,000 yards from the back tees) averaged 112.7 acres in overall footprint and had 18.2 acres of fairways. The longest courses (greater than 7,500 yards from the back tees) averaged 217.1 acres and had 35.2 acres of fairways.
In comparing maps of individual courses over the years, the study found the average fairway area decreased by more than 9 acres from the earliest map year to the most recent map year.

Love Blake’s energy dude is a Gem and so is the shirt 🔥
Shoutout The Greatest Game Ever played, hell of a golf movie. Also super cool challenge, enjoyed it boys!
The latest golf ball type you could use to be authentic is a balata ball with a wound rubber core. From 1908. Could have dimples. I think you proved the clubs can be usable with a modern ball. I started playing in 1975. I used to find Titleist balatas on the course with huge smiley faces deeply cut into the cover. No chance those go as straight or as far as a modern ball. For me, and even good golfers back then 250 yds was good from the tee with a balata. With a surlyn I could reach 300 yd par 4's, downwind at least. I could get to a 600 yd par 5 driver, 3 wood, again downwind in Kansas.
Garrett is unbelievable.Love that kid.
Mumble Moe/ Mumble G has + subtitles has me ROLLING 😂
Is it bad that i prefer this style of video with Malosi and Blake, guys are just vibes
Calling the chip-in on the last whole for the first birdie and to make 75 was best moment!!!
I really liked this video, I loved the shot at the end. BTW you were styling IMO.
I just played at the oldest course in the county where i live (bay area california) and the ourse is about 6k yards from the tips. You play a couple holes from different tees. The course is called gilroy golf club and it was opened in 1923
Played this course about a month ago with my dad, really enjoyed the course
Love the veggie tales audio cameo!!
I would like to see Part 2 of this after spending some time with these clubs at the range to figure out their distances. Pros knew their clubs, you are basically flying blind and guessing.
10:02 Damnn Garett had the old golf balls at his house! U need to do this video again with them some time soon
Great throwback look Garrett. Love Veggie Tales. My kids grew up watching them.
What you guys were in my town and I had no idea!!!! I’ve golfed that course so many times.
10:30 Mo! Quit playing with Garrett's shaft! You're going to bust it. 😂😂😂
Just waiting for the announce for my cousin Malosi lol much love from Hawai’i USOs
Garret is a beast. Amazing video with great dudes..
Gotta say I’m a fan of sliding in the cheeseburger son from veggie tales at the beginning. A true power move
