Modern golf champs thrive on longer game and study
Gene Sarazen from St Petersburg argues that today’s golfers across the 270 to 290 yard drives and advanced timing have surpassed 1920s greats. He cites Hogan Snead and Demaree, says players improve through constant learning, longer approach shots, and intensified practice, noting his own increased distance and fitness at age 39. He notes Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen would also have improved to compete today, given the modern crop’s demands.
