Lee came to our club in Montebello, California, back in the 70's. He brought with him, actor James Garner, Dodgers 2nd baseman Maury Willis, singer Johnny Mathis, and a gentelman that was a trickshot artist. And he put on one hell of a show. He played golf and we followed him for about 16 holes, he had to leave early to catch a flight. All of his shots were spot on, and so were his jokes. I believe the name of his friend from El Paso, who worked at the club was Joe, if my memory is correct. Thank you, Mr Super Mex, you made our day that day.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Trevino back in the 70's at a resort course in southern Florida. I was the teaching assistant there, and Lee would come to our driving range to practice for the Inverrary (I think). I had never seen anyone practice so effectively as Lee Trevino. He would invite me to sit in the golf cart while he hit balls, Herman was with him, and he would tell me stories about playing the tour , the US Open, and perfecting his game. He would hit a full shag bag of 9 irons, then a full shag bag of 8 irons, then 7 irons...etc..etc.. I was lucky enough to play a few rounds with him, and can say in all honesty that he is one of the most genuinely friendly supportive pros, that I had ever met.. I always look back at those days with such happy memories.. He is such a credit to the game we all love. (I still remember those Faultless golf balls!!)

I saw him in person and had a MUCH different experience in Nashville at a senior tour event.. Shunned fans and cursed volunteers..totally self absorbed. Growing up in Texas as a poor Mexican gave him a huge chip on his shoulder and a need to be in the spotlight. He has mellowed a little bit but not much. I was a fan too but not after watching the real Lee in person.

Don’t get the point you are trying to make. Everybody had steel shafted clubs in Trevino’s era. So, if he didn’t have steel shafted clubs, what else would he have played with?

Lee Trevino is absolutely, hands down, my favorite golfer to watch all time. Fuzzy Zoeller comes in a close second. I say this not because of their talent or how many tournaments they won, but because of their "devil may care" attituded when playing golf. Mr. Trevino always entertained the crowd whether he was playing poorly, or at the top of his game. I believe Fuzzy was the same way. If Lee or Fuzzy hit a terrible golf shot, you almost always saw them shrug and then say something to make the crowd laugh and enjoy the play. God bless Lee Trevino, my very favorite golfer to watch on TV, all time!

Fuzzy and Lee were playing The Skins Game in 1987 with Nicklaus and Palmer. Jack hit his tee shot and Lee was urging it to stay left to keep it in the fairway. Fuzzy then chimed in, "Never trust a Mexican pulling for your golf ball." Did Lee go out and try to get Fuzzy banned and ostracized like Tiger did at The Masters? No. Lee chuckled knowing Fuzzy didn't have a racist bone in his body.
