I thought this article from the July 1925 issue of Golf Illustrated containing "Facts" from that years U.S. Open qualifying is both humorous and revealing...



Amazing... "Not on e drive was topped..."  ;D

I think this was also the time when not only were technological advances in equipment really reaching "full-flood" (as Churchill used to say) but it was also a time when the regulatory bodies were beginning to pay far more attention to limitations via I&B Rules and Regs.

John Moore II

Funny, that might as well have been written last year and not 1925. Everything, other than steel shafts, is pretty much the same. We still complain that people can hit shots that drop dead near the pin, hybrids preferred to irons in many cases, graphite shafts, etc., etc. Seems the times change but the complaints remain the same.
