@B_of_H @JWunderGolf Brave beyond brave to play that thing.

A friend (in his 50s) hit a persimmon driver in the MGA long-drive contest today.

262 yards.

That driver was made in the 1960s.

Kind of silly that we’ve had 60 years of tech and engineering (and REalLy stRoNG athletes) and the ball on goes 35 yards farther on the PGA Tour!

“Knell Death”?

What silly people.

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

@timmmess @RY8aners Imagine looking down on that thing with a major, bet or personal best on the line…

[MYGOLFSPY @MyGolfSpy]

Good afternoon.

Just a reminder that you used to get 8 clubs for $700

Now...you just get a driver.

@freddydoubles Shot +4 with 5 birdies Thursday.

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

@freddydoubles I wonder why he doesn’t play golf anymore…?

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

Heard!

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

@jbayzzz @FootJoy Has been discussed at PGS meetings…

I’d love to see some of these Pima Cotton aficionados come to Arkansas in August and walk 18 in that bullshit.

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

Wow—great comments everyone!

Confirming once again that golf twitter is a unique lively place full a brilliant personalities!

Scottie coming off a little on the a-hole side complaining about the line of questioning after his round then giving the most vapid, banal answer when asked about his match.

@PositiveWx Kudos to you!

Anyone who can carry the ball 244, regardless of the vintage if their equipment is an above average player!

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

Bring back actual high fives.

What’s this low five bullshit?

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

@kyle_shoren Amen!

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

Just dressed up “They’re better athletes now” argument.

You think Hogan, Nicklaus, Palmer weren’t entire athletes??

They could swing that fast too, but they’re had to restrain themselves because they had a 190cc wooden head on the end of a steel shaft!

Bring it back!

[Looper @looper2day]

@thwacknicklaus It's called physics. Many high school kids swinger faster currently than Daly in his prime. Daly had graphite too. People are learning to swing faster with training, force plates, biomechanical knowledge and swing tracking technology.

Long drivers can move the club 160 mph.

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

But can he play as well swinging that equipment at that speed??

I think we’re talking about Two different things.

I don’t dispute the average speed gains.

My point is that those are only possible because equipment

A) goes farther (ball)

B) is easier to hit (more forgiving clubs)

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

@looper2day But the difference is they’re not throwing pitches with bionic hands

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

@StrategicMoose lol

[Proper Golf Society @thePGSoc]

Can I say something without making everyone mad?

They don’t matter at the pro level; it’s just the opposite side of the coin.

If everyone in the field were playing ladies Callaway, senior flex shafts from the 90s, they would still find a way to score!

[JusKillnTime @JusKilln]

@pa_tall @thwacknicklaus Clubs don’t really matter at the amateur level. Most just have poor coordination.
