    The restoration of this footage is incredible!
  • @kimura3033
    Here I am in 2023, watching this very old game from 1963 for the very first time, and I enjoy watching it.
  • Are we gonna talk about how Jack was hitting balls almost 300 yards consistently with 60 year old equipment. That is some MAJOR power
  • @joshkass
    Please PGA, keep doing these. These are such great ways to keep PGA history alive and special in the midst of everything today. Thanks for this great look back at history!
  • This is truly tremendous content. Please give us more of these classic matches remastered!!
  • @PrivatePenis
    Sam Snead’s swagger on the golf course was unparalleled
  • I was 14 years of age in 1963 and loved watching the PGA Tour on television, featuring Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, "The Golden Bear", etc. I remember seeing a lot of Sam Snead also. This video is like gold to any real golf fan. It's beautiful. Thank you so much for posting this.
  • They were crushing their drives back then! 270 yards on slow fairways, wound ball and persimmon woods. Amazing golf!
  • You know your legendary when you can say.... That"s the old par 3, before they ask me to design the new one"
  • The Vivid restoration on this film is incredible... what a treasure
  • Snead was a full 30 years older than Nicklaus in this match. It's astonishing for a 52 year old man to possess a swing like that, evidently physically fit without debilitating back and knee injuries. No surgeries and long recoveries. Just amazing.

    Gene Sarazen, "I've been coming here since 1923"! Nearly a century of golf and this HD remaster made it look like a contemporary match. It was a joy to watch. Thank you!
  • @markhayward7400
    The sound that Sam Snead's club head makes as he hits the ball is the sound of perfection. Snead had one of the greatest swings in golf history.
  • @AjaxNixon
    One reason I like watching these old videos is that it totally debunks all these swing mechanic gurus, like these dudes just smacked the ball more or less in a way that they could personally replicate and it worked for them. Sure this style may not translate into being the best player today, but you can ride that train to being a really good golfer.

    The caddies just smokin a dart lmao. I love it. This is amazing content.
  • @bradcarter6286
    Who wishes we still had Shell’s wonderful world of golf?
  • @tonytribble2977
    Today’s fairways are faster than those greens. Enjoyed watching these matches with my dad & brother.
  • @elrifle24
    Is it just me or was television much higher quality back then. And I don’t mean resolution, but the content is much higher quality. The announcers are pure class
