In this video Rick Shiels PGA Golf gets out on the golf course with a golf ball the is 100 years old!
Rick bought the golf ball for £50 from eBay and he heads out to the course at Marriott Worsley Park Golf & Country club to see how a ball that is 100 years old performs?
Rick also hits some shots with a brand new Titleist Golf Pro V1 golf ball to see the differences in performance!
Can Rick Shiels get a hole in one with the 100 year old ball? Also at the end of the video Rick cuts open the golf ball to see what’s inside the 100 year old golf ball.

Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZfaq channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

My father would have been 97 this year. He was the most amazing golfer I've ever known. He was never one for new styles of clubs or equipment and played all of his games until just before he fell terminally ill, with a small canvas golf bag that he found in a second had store in St George Utah, with a #2 persimmon head driver that he only used on par 4 or 5. A #1 Iron, a mashie and a pitching niblick, seriously, and a putter one of his students made for him in High School shop class when he first started teaching. He had a golf pro re-do the mashie and niblick onto steel shafts and told me once"no man will ever make a better club". His original golf bag was an old burlap sack he had my Mother cut down and tie a strap on to it and found the other bag just as the burlap bag was falling apart. He tee'd off with the #1 Iron and could hit a ball at the age of 70 farther than I could at 30. He was teased relentlessly by guys at the golf club he belonged to, but refused to change and I honestly believe he took great pride in the fact he could beat these guys with their fancy bags full of brand new clubs of all sizes, and he hated the new style of golf balls. He said there was no control in them. He was a Scotsman, born and raised, was a child of the depression and lived to be as frugal and thrifty as he could, and lived to that off beat beat of the drum his entire life. Sometimes I miss him, sometimes I think about all the times he pissed me off, but god damn, there will never be another golfer like him anytime soon. (sorry, a bit of topic, but I was just kind of in that place)

Probably the second best thing about my round there. Getting applause from the tourists watching on 18 was really nice. They must have really appreciated my 2 putt for bogey.

@@doggin6 1938 was when the 1st commercial TVs were introduced to the public and "as late as 1947 only a few thousand Americans owned a TV." By the end of the 20's there were only a few dozen TVs in the world and they were in research labs. WWII blunted the progress of home TV use and in England it was stopped completely. 1948 that is when home TV use really began to take off with hundreds of thousands of sets in use. Rick said "The 1920's...there wasn't even TV around was there?" No, it was not "around" then so my 30 years off statement is generally accurate. If you want to get picky, bud, I could have said 27 years and been a little closer.

@@RickShielsPGA I'm not a golfer but i can see that 'every' ball has a alignment, just Like the 'straight flight' ball it comes down to wanting slightly more drag on the outside edges (sides) of the ball, and/or less drag along the middle line of the ball. I would suggest with any ball, to find the smoothest line on the ball with the least dimples and use that line as your alignment. Would be interesting to see a balls air drag demonstrated in a wind tunnel, with some way of applying spin to the ball, also a comparison between an aligned ball and a miss aligned ball. You could also show how backspin creates loft :) @Ron L. I feel a little like I've hijacked your post... sorry about that :) Side note: I'm not a golfer because its too expensive, and really not that inviting to new players, feels a bit like an elite invite only club. From video games and the small amount i have played it seems that the game itself is awesome.

It's not inviting because of pre conceived notions. And it's actually incredibly affordable. I could send ya some clubs to get started if you need them?? Let me know. Or just start by wacking at a ball on a hunk of grass somewhere! How cheap can it be? My local course; 18 hole, full length and pretty nice (I live in the middle of no where though), gave a locals special for $150; unlimited golf for 3 years!!!! Before that; when I lived in the cities; I could easily find rounds of golf for less than 20 dollars using websites for deals. Even as low as 8 dollars! That's 3 to 4 hours of entertainment for under 20 dollars. That's a pretty good deal. A movie costs more than that! Let me know your area and I can help ya find some great deals around ya... Golf is great so the sooner you get into it the better!

A few observations: Missing the putts was almost certainly down to the green... if you could be kind enough to describe that 'ploughed field' as a green! You had me fooled with the exploding ball. I did think it looked nice and white, but fully believed the old one had disintegrated. Brilliant! I loved how enthusiastic you were about the whole experience and could genuinely feel your nervousness about losing it. Wonderful! Marriott Worsley is not just wet; it is a 100% certified bog and anything in the air will get plugged. Not a nice place at all (purely personal opinion)! When I started golf, many of the balls were still very much like that, although the 'Dunlop 65' had not long been released (Have I really been playing that long??). Finally, this illustrates in spades how it is the ball that has provided the most of the huge distances we see in modern golf. Give us a ball that behaves like this (other than the damage!) and courses will not have to be lengthened. Indeed, courses could be smaller, easier to walk, cheaper to maintain, and quicker to play!

When you cut open the ball I was gobsmacked as it looks exactly how I’d expect a multi layer ball to look.

"Rubber Core Golf Balls The advent of the rubber core golf ball changed the face of the game of golf as we knew it. This new design was invented in 1898 by Coburn Haskell in association with the BF Goodrich Company. This new and unique golf ball construction and design featured a solid rubber core, high tension rubber thread wrapped around the core, and a Gutta Percha cover"

They were made like that... In fact; I have over 50 of them. Not reproductions. I display them at a local golf course. Each kind full and cross section.

@spencer ray It is from the Crosses at Columbine. It was never intended to be a profile picture. I did a series of videos from when I drove to Columbine High School in 2003, four years after the shootings, and visited the memorials. At the time, I was doing research for a book I never finished.
