How do the hickory golf clubs of the 19th and early 20th century hold up against the golf club technology of the modern era? We went to The Lido to find out.
Considered one of the greatest golf course designs of all time, The Lido Golf Club in Long Island, NY is arguably the most famous lost golf course in history. It opened its doors in 1917, though despite its renowned, the course fell into disrepair during the great depression and closed its doors forever during WWII.
With years of work, implementing various types of surveying technology, Tom Doak and his team are meticulously restoring The Lido in Wisconsin, 1,000 miles away from its original home.
We do a deep dive into The Lido on an episode of Adventures in Golf - be on the lookout for that over on the Skratch YouTube channel.
