The passing of Arnold Palmer got me to thinking about the equipment some of golf's elder statesmen played with.
Did these guys just play standard clubs their entire careers or did they take advantage of fitting and custom clubs later in their career or life as it was more readily available?
I mean, guys like Tiger, Sergio, Phil, etc and onward have been able to take advantage of custom built clubs their entire careers, fit to them.
When did the previous generations of golfers begin to take advantage and did the guys who had never hit a custom club switch from the length, lie, loft, etc that they'd always played?
