Two star golfers, who won Ballantine's Tournaments almost 50 years apart, met at Wentworth Golf Club to put modern-day golf clubs to the test against equipment first used in the early 60's, highlighting the development of the game.

Neil Coles, Chairman of the European Tour Board of Directors and winner of the second Ballantine's Golf Tournament in 1961, played with Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, winner of the 2008 Ballantine's Championship in Korea.

They both first used Cole's original wooden clubs and 1.62 balls and then compared them to the latest modern equivalents.

The event was organised to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first Ballantine's golf tournament and the launch of the 2010 Championship Blend.

A priceless, limited edition Scotch whisky, the blend combines extremely rare grains and malts taken from the time of the first Ballantine's golf tournaments fifty years ago.

The first tournament, held at Wentworth Club in 1960 introduced a larger ball to the game and attracted some of the most revered players of the day.
