I have another video called Historic Golfers. In that Mickey is at around 45secs. Think it’s quite a good likeness? Let me know your thoughts 🙏

😀or maybe it is Arnie saying 'is it like this I should be doing it?' :-)

He was - a gent with such talent! Arnies Army 💪😊😊

@@Hoganwantabe you’re right! 👍 I have another video up with a photo of Mickey Wright, taken by Alex J Morrison. Thanks 🙏 😊

@@vintagegolffilms cool! Have always loved watching Mickey’s swing. A beautiful motion.

Glad you enjoyed it! It is a cool video and reminds me of how much has changed in golf but also how little. This great swing would still put him at the top of the rankings today :-)

I reckon it is!

Would agree with that - so natural and smooth. One of the greats from those days used to say you need to swing like it was oily (we oils fluid). I still have that swing thought and try 😊

It was Sam Snead who said ‘keep it oily’

Great! Thank you 🙏

Thank you!! I think AJM is somewhat under-rated. He was a true ambassador and committed to many parts of the game - instruction, photography, author/journalist. I have some more images, including a great one of him doing an exhibition, which I will look out and put up in a part 2. Please Like and Subscribe as I hope to grow this channel and it helps bring more vintage golf films and images to a wider audience. These things should not be lost. Thanks again!

I'm subscribed for sure I love your channel I'm 60 I love golf and especially it's history I find the pioneers are so interesting I had no idea of the interests of Mr Morrison thank you so much for your efforts. My father made me aware of an Egyptian quote "Speak my name and I live again" which I love!

You will find another pic of AJM in the new video I just put up 👍

Yeah, good comparison. They both have a very smooth fast motion, kind of just gliding through the ball

What brilliant footage! Thanks so much for posting. I don’t want to be a killjoy but I’m fairly sure the ones labeled as Bob Toski aren’t him. I don’t know who it is unfortunately. Whoever it is is about 1’ taller and 30 lbs heavier than Toski, ha ha. I think the ones you have as Cary Middlecoff are actually Tommy Aaron and can 100% confirm the red sweater is Gene Littler. Thanks again for these. If you have any more I’m sure many like myself would love to see them. 👍🏻

@@samosborne2918 great input. Much appreciated😊 Please like and subscribe to help us along a little to enable more of these old film reels to get digitized and get on here 👍 Thanks again!

I have the original film real. Not sure where I got it but probably at some golf auction or on eBay many years ago. Glad I could convert it and put it up here. Seems many people appreciate it! If you have not already subscribed, please do so I can keep bringing new vintage golf films on here. Thanks again!

Great inputs- thanks! Was thinking mid-50s?

Excellent inputs! Have updated the description now with your good inputs!!! Many thanks!

And Elvis 😊👍

Thanks for your inputs! Yes, just shows there are many ways to do it. Even while we all look for the secret recipe, it turns out there are some common ingredients and then some individual ingredients! Please subscribe - more coming! Thanks again!

Snead had trouble with the flat stick. I don’t know if there’s a prettier swing than his

It is actually a great swing in my book - very efficient and smooth! Fantastic striker of the ball. Top top class!!!

Yes, a lot to be said for going with what feels natural. Difficult today to ‘go your own way’ with so many comparisons to the video swing of the ‘greatest’ player 😊

Ive always tried to swing like the old school guys..Way more accurate and using the club for your rhythm makes the game so much easier..Back never hurts either haha

Thanks for inputs!!! Can you give me time where you see Tom W?

My guess is Chick Harbert but I'm not sure? Any ideas?

@@vintagegolffilms not a clue. I was admiring the symmetry of his golf swing, very nice.

I think it's JIM TURNESA, I recognise him from the footage of him with the Ryder Cup team of the era

Yes, exactly my thought.... is that Hogan as it's a Hogan outfit...then, no it's Byron!! Thanks for the confirmation!

Thomson around 1:08?

Cary around 4:00?

@@vintagegolffilms No, that is definitely Byron Nelson at 1:08 - he had what his fellow pros called "a vertical sway" not that it impaired his great swing (and results). Thomson is at 4:32.

@@vintagegolffilms Cary, I think, starts at 3:44 up to and then also briefly again after Thomson.

Would be great to see the old school play in the modern game. No doubt they would still be greats!

Glad you enjoyed it👍😊🙏

What time do you see Demaret? There are a few inputs on him so just to clarify?

@@vintagegolffilms Demaret is on from 2:00 til 2:10 and 2:46 mark to 3:42.

Thanks for the inputs! Not sure of the year. I'm guessing 50s??

Yup, looks like he gets the club head well behind him at the beginning of the swing. However as you point out, by the time his hands reach the "V" on the down swing the hands and lag are right where they should be.

Nothing is “out of position” lol. That’s Bobby Jones lol. The only reason you think it’s out of position is because we have been fed “today’s swing”. This is more natural move that most players would be better off trying to do IMO. I’m not trying to be a jerk by the way only trying to say I think I’m with you when I see it but I really think we think that because of the golf channel and the swings that have come like tigers. His swing worked and is great but hard for most to achieve- the older players all have some common aspects that I think are easier to do with a more average body and make it more accessible for us normal people to play our best.

Some elements of the swing are not too different from top guys today. The over the top swing on the back is not but the stance and impact positions not too different. He could shift it :-)

Some elements are similar and some of course different. Can you imagine what he would be like today with the modern equipment? :-)

no question he would still be one of the greats

Great swing - fluid and very effective 👍👍

​@riley-arr-g I agree all the fundamentals are there, he's the most celebrated golfer in history but he's wearing a dress shirt and has hickory so some dynamics are different but wow what a weirdo comment. Bobby Jones. Yes definitely do not teach that free flowing beautiful tempo. Instead wrap em into a straight jacket of their own with positions and tucking this and that and xyz factors. And they wonder why handicaps actually go up every year.

Can you imagine what he could do with the equipment today? :-)

@DoctorPecker I know you should see me miss my first tee shot of the day....small bucket anyone.....sounds like you're having a great weekend dude.
