ANCIENT GOLF SECRETS: How a 1400s Scottish Shepherd’s Technique Added 20 Yards to My Drive!
You won’t believe what happened when I discovered this forgotten golf technique from medieval Scotland. While researching golf history, I stumbled upon documentation of how shepherds in the 1400s played an early form of golf using wooden clubs called “cleeks” and actual stones instead of balls.
What caught my attention wasn’t just the primitive equipment – it was their completely different grip technique that modern golf instruction has completely abandoned. These shepherds developed their own unique way of holding the club that seems to go against everything we’re taught today.
Curious and a bit skeptical, I decided to test this ancient grip at my local course last week. The results shocked me – my drive went a full TWENTY YARDS further than my usual distance!
In this video, I break down:
– The fascinating history of medieval Scottish golf
– How shepherds used wooden cleeks and stones
– The specific grip technique that’s been lost to time
– Why modern golf instruction might be missing something crucial
– My real experience testing this method on the course
– Whether this ancient technique could work for your game too
It makes you wonder what other effective techniques from golf’s early days have been forgotten in favor of modern standardized instruction. Sometimes the old ways really were better!

stole this ancient golf technique from a 1400 Scottish Shepherd and it completely changed my game. Back then, they used wooden clubs called clicks and hit stones instead of balls. The shepherd’s grip was totally different from what we learn today. I tried it at my local course last week and my drive went 20 yards further than usual. Turns out modern golf instruction ignores these old methods that actually work better for some people.
