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.
Lee Trevino is awesome...I listen to his tips just to give me a great attitude for the day...how can you not be cheered up after listening to this guy!
"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.
Indeed one of the greatest, if not the greatest. His ball striking was thoroughly tested and proven through all the majors and pro tour tournaments won.
He visited Alberta in the 80's for an exibition with 2 fine,young amateurs. Shot a course record 64 without playing the track before, giving advice and never stopped chatting it up all 18 holes. Remember it like it was yesterday🏌️♂️
desertsun100 Trevino said pressure was playing $5 Nassau with $2 in your pocket. He grew up dirt poor and hustled his way to the penthouse. Great player.
Ben Hogan use to let Trevino demo all his clubs before he put them out . When asked why Hogan said, Trevino was the best striker of the ball, that he trusted his feed back on the clubs. That's pretty bad ass if Hogan thinks your the best striker of the ball, with all the greats around in Trevino's era.
Or perhaps it was that Lee was the only one of the greats that he got along with. Hogan would not even call Arnie by name, no wonder he never thought to ask him about his(Hogans) clubs.
I read years ago that Gary Player asked Hogan's advice and Ben replied 'Do you play Hogan clubs?' Player replied 'No, Dunlop.' Hogan retorted 'Go ask Mr Dunlop'. I still have some 1970s Apex irons (retired). The sweet spot was the size of a dime.
Wow. My dad found an old copy of this when I was a kid trying to learn golf. Spent summers going to the driving range trying to learn how to hit the ball. I literally knew the opening lines about amateurs trying to hook it. There's a part where he teaches you how to hit the ball low and I still use that tip to this day! The memories!
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.
I watched Lee at Quail Hollow back when he hooked everything. His career took off when he started fading the ball more. My favorite golfer to follow around the course.
Agreed. This is the only takeaway drill you need ( provided you have sound fundamentals ) lead shoulder IS the takeaway, keep it all together. Play well⛳️
When I was a kid growing up in San Antonio in the early 90's, my teachers would ask me if I was related to Lee Trevino the golfer. My name is Joseph Trevino, Lee's dads name LOL. No relation, or at least I think! But here I am, hitting my early 40's watching videos of "How To's" from no other than Lee Trevino. Serendipity.
this instruction is very valuable...it will change AND take my golf to where I want me to be....to win a biggest prize which I have dreamt of for a very long, long time....Thank you very much.
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.
That's right, I'm left-handed but hit right and my weaker right hand wasn't doing much; this caused me to hit a big pull fade on my woods. My swing path was outside in with an open club face. Now, I'm training my right wrist to fire through the hitting zone and this has helped me hit straighter shots. Thanks, Mr. Trevino.
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.
back when pro golfers each had an individual "style." They all were good at impact but they each had their individual way of getting there. Now, for the most part, they're all golfing robots. I wish we had more uniqueness in golf swings like the past. I remember Jack, Hubert Green, Trevino, Watson, Gary Player, etc. all had STYLE!!
There is plenty of uniqueness. Wolff, Bryson, Furyk, Fowler, DJ, etc. Just have to open your eyes and quit being so stubborn with your back in my day mentality
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.
I have heard of this man named, Byron Nelson. He wasn't too bad either. And his swing repeated under pressure pretty well too. I happen to think, Mr. Hogan had the greatest swing ever. Mr Trevino was a magician with his hands and hips too. Probably the most underrated player on the PGA tour. I'd never play that man for a dime.
saw him in abilene texas at a now defunct senior tour event. the man actually hit a draw with a sand wedge into a left to right wind. yes,a sand wedge. try that some time.
his sounded different because lee learned to hit it with the shaft leaning forward this compressed the ball to the max and good observation on the sound, this gives a good ballstriker away everytime so listen to the shots now check my lessons out at hitmanhawky and learn how to hit it like lee did and check my swing out to forward leaning shaft at impact for me and thanks hitmanhawky
Man I wish I had been around to see him play. I love watching the guys from my era but id love to have watched Jack, Trevino, player, palmer, snead, and even a "prime" tiger altho he was more recent but im young...what was it like to watch thowe guys?
I saw Trevino in Chicago at OFCC in the Senior Open . I played that north course a hundred times but never on this day with the wind being sideways . Par 3 , 8th hole , 40 mph wind and Lee and Palmer behind him both hit 223 yard driver, both made the green. The following day Lee hit a 6 iron to 10 feet with 6 iron. ( 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.
There is a great story of Lee Trevino playing at the Hermitage Country Club many years ago and insulting everything about the course because the members did not let the pros full access to the range or something (it used to be a tour event). "This is the worst tee box I've ever seen...".
Trevino had a much different personality off the course than he did on the course, according to what one of the caddies told me. Many of the pros were the same.
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.
@@flamingarrow167 Wow so there's only 1 solution to a slice-Lee's method. Never knew one size fits all. And so simple. Guess you learn something everyday
Chuck Steak oh my god....no..Seve was not known for that. He had an incredible short game which would miraculously save him from his wild ball striking. Are you 11?
I know what you mean,but watch Miguel Jimenez, Justin rose(doing his Ali G, Staines Massive), and Ian Poulter I saw Poulter telling off an over enthusiastic drunk Spanish fan telling Jimenez to try harder at the Volvo at Valderrama last year the Drunken Spaniard and Poulter where Deadly serious Jimenez was pissing himself laughing very funny.
Slowing the club handle down and swing the toe of the club through impact is good advice for draw independent of how you release the club with your hands/wrists.
Lee , with all do respect !! You are a magician of creativity with the club. I really don't believe that there will ever be another player like you. 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 .
Moe was probably the straightest as his swing model does yield flush hits arguably even more flush than Hogan's swing model (in my experience), but there is a lot more to being the greatest ball striker. I'd say Hogan overall was the best ball striker, quite remarkable given the technology of the time.
I have been searching for the video where Lee hit a hole in one. The interviewer asked him about what he thought about making that shot and in the Trevino way he said, "that's what I was aiming for". Lol, no surprise to him. What a great man all around.
Does his hip alignment advice work @4.55 because im not sure the actual video confirms what he is saying. He is getting an inside path with his hips pointing left so doesnt that go directly against what he just said?????? im confused
Ha! All due respect to the man, but he says keep your left knee flexed to ward off a slice. Then, in slow motion, he snaps his left leg straight at impact. :D
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.

I met this gentleman last week at a charity tournament. He as every bit as genuine and authentic in person as you see here. National treasure.
Trevino has become my favorite golfer of all time
What a brilliant mind !
Lee was a master of the golf swing. A legend he will always be.
This is arguably the most important TH-cam video ever recorded.
No
Yup
If your goal is to snap hook it you are correct.
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.
Gotta love Lee and his folksy instruction style. One of the all time greats.
This man is the reason I love golf. Thank you, Mr. Trevino.
Me too❤️⛳🦘
Lee Trevino is awesome...I listen to his tips just to give me a great attitude for the day...how can you not be cheered up after listening to this guy!

Love to hear Lee give tips...a great player/teacher/announcer.
Cool video..Lee was working man's golfer...
MR Trevino is a class act.I remember one match he won $60.000 and donated it too charity.This was many yrs ago.
Lee is such a great man ... an all time hero! :)
Lee is one of the all time greats, a true gentleman.

Actually a lot could be added such as (for starters) Hogan was unlikely to ask Byron Nelson to test his clubs!
Or perhaps it was that Lee was the only one of the greats that he got along with.

This has helped me so much I call my set up my Travino.

Simple instructions, verbally and physically absolutely informative and beneficial,
This is such a brilliantly simple video. Explains each mistake quickly and shows how to try and fix it.

This is great stuff. Also, super interesting editing style lol

Such great instruction. And watch his bio how he won the 68 US Open after Monday qualifying! There was nobody grittier.
He did not have to qualify for the 1968 US Open. He was already in the field via his top 10 finish in the previous year's US Open at Baltusrol.
Amusing guy, he is right but everyone has to find out what works for them.
Probably the most naturally talented golfer of his generation.
What? Same generation as Jack! Exactly same age! He wasn't bad.
ALLRIGHT LEE , NICE TO LISTEN TO AN AMERICAN TEACHING GOLF !
Damn Trevino was good.
1:54 when he talks about getting the knees right and coming in under the ball is the best. Get laid off into the hitting zone.
Greatest ball striker ever was Hogan. Period.
according to what?

That stuff at 3:33 seems like advice to improve your flipping technique.
I used to slice now hook
What?? So I can use the left side of the course!! Now they tell me.
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.
Yes everyone should listen to pigslefats instead of Lee Trevino about why golfers slice.
@@flamingarrow167 Wow so there's only 1 solution to a slice-Lee's method. Never knew one size fits all. And so simple. Guess you learn something everyday
Pipeline Moe Norman was the greatest ball striker ever.
i'd say the top 3 ball strikers ever were Lee, Hogan, and Seve
Seve??? Seve was not a great ball striker.
you don't know what yer talking about. thats what seve was known for.

dont forget Lee played a balata ball, big difference than today's that doesnt spin.
Came because of king of thr hill
I didnt know Charles Bronson played golf.
The best advice I ever received was to take two weeks off, and then quit.
I'll take your clubs...Thanks.
Trevino was a great ball striker. But the best of all-time was Moe Norman!
Moe was probably the straightest as his swing model does yield flush hits arguably even more flush than Hogan's swing model (in my experience), but there is a lot more to being the greatest ball striker. I'd say Hogan overall was the best ball striker, quite remarkable given the technology of the time.

Practice. He just practiced harder than anyone else.
Ha! All due respect to the man, but he says keep your left knee flexed to ward off a slice. Then, in slow motion, he snaps his left leg straight at impact. :D
I noticed the same thing !
Jake Rebol often film will show that what you think you're doing is not what actually happens.
Well, his instructions are for people having trouble. Not for himself. And maybe he just played a fade.
Not snapped straight no... He snaps the hip back but there's some flex left in the leg. You'd see better if he wore shorts.
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.

Just goes to show, just because you were one of the worlds greatest golfers, doesn’t mean that you’re a good teacher
All great players want to tell you how easy it is.
Yep. When it's really talent.
Why does it look so tripped out during his close up? Unique camera or strange editing?
