Great video, a flash from the past. I'm sure many here have played with the hickories and replica balls, but few with clubs and balls reflecting the early days of the Open! Thanks very much.
So much golf to play, so little time....

What a great find.  I had never seen that before.  I'd love to see more pros try this sort of thing.  It's so much fun.

Dave Marr was such a nice man.  I met him a couple of times, but never really got to spend time talking with him.


When we started working on Memorial Park in Houston, after the press conference to announce the project, one of the old-timers came up to me and told me that they had spread Dave's ashes on the course after he passed away.  He had grown up there, working on the range or whatever for the head professional, and eventually becoming the assistant, before his game took him on to bigger things.
