There’s a great little video package on youtube covering how three Euro tour pros and hickory golf’s own Paolo Quirici played a few holes together. Paolo is the only guy who looks authentic (button down shirt and tie), but of course, the TV coverage never speaks to him once during the three minute+ package. Anyway, here’s the the story:
In celebration of 70 years of the European Masters, a 2 hole stroke play exhibition competition took place in Crans-Montana yesterday after play, but there was a twist. Hickory Golf clubs! We had 3 European Tour stars: Lee Westwood (9 x Ryder Cup player), Danny Willett (2016 Masters Champion) and Miguel Angel Jimenez (21 time European Tour winner) play against each other as well as Paolo Quirici, the 2013 Hickory World Golf Champion.
It’s worth a viewing, just to see who wins.
There is more video at Geoff Shackelford.com where they ask Paolo why he hit an iron instead of a driver.
