Nah....while it's undeniably great info, the chances of translating that info into real-world improvement are almost ZERO. Amateurs live in a fantasy world where we believe with every fiber of our being that better golf is just ONE or TWO pieces of information, or THIS or THAT training aid, or just the right tip......But it's an illusion. Once a golfer has ingrained his/her swing over 5-10 years the die is set. That's why the vast majority of golfers shoot the same scores at 50 that they did at 25. And I'm not making those numbers up. Just look at the handicaps published by the USGA. Improving significantly at golf after a few years of playing is so rare it's statistically insignificant.

"Left the fairway only to answer the phone"--that's a good one, and let me tell you, it's true. I saw him play in Austin in an exhibition on Legends week (with Chi Chi, Crenshaw and Kite), and I'm telling you, it was like an out-of-body experience. The other guys hit it just great, don't get me wrong, but Trevino's shots sounded different, the way people used to say about Hogan--such a shallow angle of approach, just flushing the back of that ball every time. It was surreal.

Lee Buck Trevino is the all-time undefeated heavyweight champion of simplicity!! Including keeping the left hand facing the target with as little face manipulation as possible. No man since Ben Hogan understands the swing like this Mexican maestro. Which perfectly illustrates why a sound grip is so fundamental to great golf. Lee demonstrated this perfectly by showing the endless number of ways the club can twist in a players hands. Hold on firmly with the left hand with a grip that is not too strong. Explained in language a four year old could understand!! Better than instruction, by any teacher known to mankind.

There was B.Jones, Hogan, Trevino...and some here say Moe...but ironically IMO the most underrated and greatest ball striker is a tie between Jack, throughout his life, and Tiger for about 11 years (1997--2008). To hit range balls, or even to hit occasional great shots in tournaments is great, but Jack and Tiger actually made better shots under pressure than they would on the range...the bigger the tournament, and the more tasking the shot...the better the ball striking got.

Besides being one of the best golfers ever Lee is also a great teaching talent. My personal fave tip I heard on a TV Golf broadcast after Lee's round one of the announcers interviewed him and asked for a couple of his favorite tips for mid handicappers. Lee gave a couple (which I don't recall what they were) and then with a wry smile said "and it also doesn't hurt to hit 200 or 300 balls a day on the range"....I eventually became a 4 handicap largely by following that "tip". In my case probably hitting 150 balls four or five days a week, largely during my lunch hour at my job.

At 5:01 Trevino drops his club to the inside when coming down from the top of his swing, much like Sergio, creating a lot lag. This helps promote the ball going from right to left, a draw. But Trevino plays a fade, the reason that it fades is because his hips are open similar to Freddy. Nice video, good tips on the take away.

( elevates tee bit it never got more than 30 feet off the turf. I have never seen a shot like those in 30 years of pro golf ! The guys from yesteryear would win and plenty in today’s game with the video, instruction, equipment and coaches. Tiger in a different class of course with exception of Jack.

Bubba Watson is a shot shaper but more of a " let it fly and see where it lands" approach . You controlled every shot. Moe Norman hit it straight and could move the ball as well but that was not his natural shot. The body control you have is a gift that you worked hard to develop . Only wish you could tee it up against today's players. That would be great entertainment . Courses have lengthened but something tells me that your will to compete would overcome that challenge .

The reason most amateurs slice is they stand up on the shot. Have right side bend at impact, have shoulders open at impact and have bent right elbow at impact and keep right elbow in and connected at impact. Do not straighten right elbow before impact which forces you to stand up on the shot lest you smite the ground before the ball.

Lee says to slow the left arm and it may work on the range for a shot or two, but is not the right fundamental to focus on. The over-fast arm swing in my opinion is from amateurs starting the downswing with their arms and upper body. Start the downswing from the ground up - feet, knees, and hips - and the arms won't get out of sequence. Amateurs try to generate speed with the arms, while good golfers generate it with a body turn and coil on the backswing, and weight and rotation on the downswing. The club is pulled along the path created by centrifugal force.
