What would have Jack N. done with the today's Golf Club and balls?
I'm not sure how this applies. Everyone in Jack's era was using similar equipment.
Are you asking how many course/tournament records he would hold (score-wise)? Golf has kept up to a degree with lengthening golf courses to keep up with innovations in technology. They're not playing the same courses they used to play....and anyone in the golf "know" is aware of this fact.
As far as I know.....P&Y hasn't increased their standards for record book entry to keep up with modern day "innovations" (QDM programs; nutrition technology; etc...). If anything.....they've dumbed-down the standards (let-off rules).
WHAT are you talking about? Okay they added some length. So your telling me that todays pros are approaching the greens with the same clubs the Trevino's and Nicklaus's used? Are you telling me Square Grooves and better balls have not increased the play-ability of shots. (Drop and Stop).
Your saying new equipment is not more forgiving? Thus allowing more fairways to be hit with less than perfect contact?
Is hitting in the rough in a non major as much of a penalty as those days?
So the new equipments benefits have effectively been neutralized by adding some length?
WOW I knew you said you didn't play anymore, I just didn't realize you had lost touch with the sport to this magnatude.
Think of the leeps and bounds Q.D.M. would make if planted food plots on all that wasted space thats now called golf courses?
