if fred funk could win on tour in his late 40's , rest assured lee "buck" trevino would win today if he was in his 20's or 30's - he would probably hit it about 275 -280 off the tee , and he would still beat them with the wedge and putter , he proabaly only he it about 250 back in the 70's off the tee with them old wood clubs

You could be right. Maybe Trevino could have won today if he had all the new equipment. It's hard to know for sure in any sport how some of the past stars would do against the stars of today. My opinion is that the golfers on tour today are much better than the golfers of past years. That doesn't mean that some of the legends of the past could not do well today. I'm just saying that they would be facing much tougher competition today.
