So for anyone who doesn't know Jacob, he is part of the team here at Finch Golf Media. What a good sport he is for putting himself out there! Thanks for watching and for Gleneagles for having us down

This shows how much modern gear helps us but, at the end of the day, the biggest influence is still the skill of the person attached to the other end. You’re channel content is top notch and always engaging. Great job!

That shot from Jacob! WOW!!! 😁⛳🔥

Ok guys, that was truly one of the most entertaining golf videos I've seen in a long time. You had way too much fun Pete, I was laughing the whole time. Thanks for some great content.

I've got my mums 1920's hickory clubs, and a bag almost identical to the one you had Peter which she used as one of the first golfers ever to live and play in Fiji. She was a single figure handicaper too. My mum and her golfing colonial mates built the first golf course in Labasa, Fiji. I inherited her good swing n😊

Well I don't play hickory's but I do play mostly persimmons and old blades and love to play golf even more just for the creativity involved with technology from back in the day. The sound off a persimmon driver is intoxicating. Thank Mr. Finch.

Absolutely love the camaraderie you guys have with one another. Another class video, keep 'em coming! Thanks for the content!

Love all the content with Jacob and Kieran, would love to see more!

Fantastic video as always! I love it when you get the boys out there playing and not just behind the camera.

From 29:40 and on, Pete you absolutely destroy!? Love all of it. Can't think of a recent video that you've genuinely look like your having the best of times. (Quality golf shots with 100 year old clubs help) regardless, fun to watch. Cheers.

The absolute eggs on Mr. Finch to walk that last putt in. 👏👏

Another great video, it’s real golf to watch. I just love the fact you used hickory clubs, just goes to prove its not just the equipment but the person’s ability who’s using them. More of the same please just so interesting and entertaining.

Love this kind of stuff!

Tis not the wand, but the wizard that creates the magic 😎 great match Pete! Love this kind of content. Looks like you had a blast making it too 👌

Fantastic! Really enjoyed this video. Well done for playing with ancient clubs and winning. My dad had hickory clubs and unfortunately, I managed to destroy them.... Played the Kings Course and loved it. Paul, Scot.

insanely good video hahah oh the vibes the banter just amazing and that last put while talking was just class

Just something great and rewarding about using a putter like that where it is your skill at reading the putt and lining it up properly, without any guide lines etc. Probably the best you've played recently because you had to play within yourself due to the clubs. Fantastic video and your enjoyment of the experience just shone through.

That walk off putt on the last was a thing of beauty

Am I the only one who thinks Peter Finch is producing some of the best golfing content on YT in 2022/23? Keep it up!

Great video guys some great golf and banter too.

The ending was amazing. I need more of Jacob's impression of Peter

Quality. Thanks team Finch for another entertaining video.

The shots on hole 16 were different class....👌 great watch and well played...👍👏⛳👊

Great video to watch, I always say “it’s not the lump on the bottom that matters, it’s the lump holding the top of the shaft”. Some great play with those old hickory clubs.

I enjoyed that SO much . Brilliant stuff !

this was just brilliant to watch,

That was a great shot by Peter from the bushes. I'm glad it made the edit as well

12 mins in and u mention Lossiemouth. This is my home town and has 2 great courses if ur ever up this way. Moray old course has a great 18th!

Actually amazing performance with those museum-class golf clubs, very nice, enjoyed watching!

I think the woods you have are pyratone shafts, steel shafts with vinyl cover that looks like wood. A softer ball like a Wilson duo works better than a hard ProV. Glad to see more people giving the old clubs a try, gives you a better since of history and how difficult golf used to be.

That putt to finish was just class and comical 😂 great video!

great video Peter, always good to see you play with your team. proves that golf is all about skill not the clubs we use. 👏👏👍👍

that last put though..... ⛳⛳⛳

Best golf content on you tube. Keep it up

I am a new subscriber as I am just returning too play golf from a 15 year lay off, I really enjoyed watching this

Absolutely awesome finish!!

This was one of the "funnest" videos you have ever made Peter.....WELL DONE!

What a brutal outro 😂, some shots on that par 4 as well!. Love to see it

It just goes to show that’s great golfer - as you are - can play with anything. That was really enjoyable. Thanks Peter.

Great work stepping up, Jacob. Natural in front of the camera too

That's some pure ball striking with those clubs. Impressive, Mr. Finch.

You should put modern heads on Hickory shafts, and modern shafts in hickory heads and test them against each other to see which one is harder to use. Good video idea I reckon!

That last putt was deflating for we pretenders. 😂 Seriously, well done and it was gutsy for Jacob to give it a go.

Great video!!!

Wow. How good did you play with those clubs. Fair play to Jacob for being filmed. He hit some decent shots as well.

I still have a Hogan persimmon 4-wood from 1985. I still hit it on the range for fun occasionally, and it feels and sounds so good when you hit the sweet spot.

Pete is playing with clubs that defined the concept of "fitting". Hand forged irons, hand carved persimmon woods (no face inserts!) means that you have to hit the thing during fabrication to make sure that the loft is where you want it and the lie is good. Lots of bending and maybe some extra engraving of the club face to get the spin right.

Fun video Peter 👌

My dad (grandfather) used to have a 2 wood that looked like one of those woods. It had the cross-hatch grooves and was over 100 years old (120 now). He loved playing with it, had it refinished with a modern grip.

👏🏼 fair play Mr Finch, what a way to wrap up a match. Never seen such swag

My first set of woods were 2nd had Tony Penna Persimmons. Loved the sound of them thwack.

Love when you use throwback clubs. Reminds me of clubs I grew up with. My first "driver" was a 2-wood. No idea what brand, but I believe it was from 60's or 70's. My putter was a 10-iron with a dimple pattern face. And my bad was similar to the bag Peter is using here. Looks like fun to play those clubs. Enjoy these videos a lot!

Well worth the wait;)

Excellent video Peter and Team, love this content, Great seeing the old clubs being used and still performing against modern ones, pure class 👌🏌‍♂⛳

Yey! New video! Liking it even before I watch the whole thing!! hahaha. By the way, what a beautiful course!!

I really enjoyed that video the race for the open next year i feel you will be there

I love Peter Finch! He's the best youtuber in the UK!

I have a set of persimmon woods from Louisville golf..their modern take on old school woods. They are essentially a swing trainer. Hard to hit on the screws...but when you can hit them consistently straight...your swing is grooved.

Lol….simply brilliant,great shooting Pete👍👍👍

That drive to get on the green was something else Peter!

That finish was awesome!!

Love Gleneagles. Fantastic courses in a great location.

Loved it ⛳️

The woods were steel shafted, post WW2. What would be fun to see someone like Andrew Marshall (Marshy) doing this with proper hickories. Scary good with anything old skool.

Best wrap up ever!

That last putt had me laughing out loud. So nonchalant like you do it every day, keep that putter in your bag. Thanks to both of you that was fun to watch.

Very well played Peter.

brilliant Jacob. he's come a long way to be fair to him. think he deserves a bonus for that!

I've not been super thrilled with the new taylormade stealth drivers, but the Stealth hybrids feel unbelievably good off the face and they seem quite accurate

that finish:Dlove it

I’ve played a few rounds at the local clubs Hickory Stick Tourney. The key with old clubs is tempo and speed. You can’t swing out of your shoes or the shaft whips and everything slices. They are a ton of fun.

Please do another with the Hickorys. I have several vintage sets but not that old and it was great to watch how your skill level shone through . 😏

You may have been referring to the chip over Sam Snead's ball on the green by Paul Runyan. You adapted well and made the best of them. It's amazing how well those chaps played with those clubs; like 60s and 70s players with blades.

In process of watching but did you upload this a few days ago, as I'm sure it came up on my feed but went to find it and was gone XD

I think you should go play Lossiemouth. Moray course is lovely. Great video

Great vlog on a great course and big kudos to Jacob for being a good sport. Small question; did you partake of the hospitality at the half way house? I recall it was rather nice... Cheers

These videos are sick

For many years I played with wrapped leather grips. The key is that you have to oil them regularly. Grip oil softens and protects the leather, and also keeps them from getting slippery. Regularly oiled leather grips will last a very, very long time. Mine were over 50 years old, and in perfect shape, when the clubs were stolen, about 20 years ago. You've clearly gotten used to the hickory shafts over the course of using them, and are showing that good golf can indeed be played with them. To broaden your club choices, though, you need to add a niblick to your set.... It's a handy club with an even better name.

I play almost exclusively with hickory and I love it! You should definitely play in the world hickory open if you want to compete in a really fun tournament!

That finish!! 😂👊🏻🎤⬇

Peter, loved watching this video. Your driver and three wood were actually pyrotene shafts which were steel shafts with a coating to make them look like hickories. Still probably around 1930's. If you ever get to the States I would be honored to have you play a round with my loaner set of MacGregor hickories circa 1920. Hopefully it may happen. By the way, check out Gavin Bottrell. He is in the UK and does amazing restoration work on hickory clubs. He will get you a proper set! Welcome to the world of hickory golfers!

Really fun stuff guys. I think when you where filming in the bushes you were taking a piss

That last putt was epic!

Interesting match and entertaining

That last putt was so satisfying. 🔥

Now that was fun. Would be really great to try playing with some old gear… Think I would feel too self conscious knowing I would have to talk to other passing gofers who would be asking why play with old and now none conforming gear. The one club I want to use is the old putter I inherited from my grandfather. Would love to see more play with more classic gear.

So, after watching this, I have to wonder... Are there any craftsmen out there who actually make hickory clubs to the turn of the century specs just for those enthusiasts that want that bit of challenge and nostalgia on the course? Absolutely loved this vid, and Jacob's look as you holed out for the win was priceless! It was worth a like button "whalloping". 🤣

You should try Quest to the Open with this clubs🤣🤣You played so good. Really amazing

I need to emulate Pete's smooth operator swing! I don't know many pros that swing this smooth.

That finish is top notch. Truly smashed it at the end there.

Couple of good shots on 15 there guys. Really good.

Those shots on the short par 4 were amazing! Your " natural athletic ability did shine bright like the Scottish sun".

What an epic final putt. Every bit as good as the fake Tiger no-look edit that has been doing the rounds for ages but this was real. 😀Those clubs though. I did not expect them to perform like that.

Commentary on that last putt was class lol.

The lead up and the last putt was so tigersque such a baller!

Wanted to try hickory clubs for so long

Hi Pete, when I started golf, (I was 16, I’m now 65) my first set of clubs were from a charity shop. All hickory shafts, absolutely loved them. I now need the forgiveness of the modern day clubs.

Great video, pkease do more like this. I actually bought a putter from the 1920´s on eBay for 15,- € and have been playing with it ever since. Works great for me, though it has a modern shaft and grip. Still my putting is the best part of my game, so the historic stuff still works, I guess ;-) Maybe I should get a wooden wood and leave my modern wood at home ;-)

The Wood shafts looked quite thin. Maybe that they are steel with a Pyratone coating. Pyratone was used to try and make steel shafts look like wood to try and ease the transition for players who couldn't quite overcome the change in look.

That finish walk in putt just wow 😲
