i just dont get how that is possible. and the fact that he didnt even look like he nuked the swing, it just seemed as if he was hitting a normal shot. insane. i just dont get it
i remember watching this, fred made the sweater vest and polo shirt popular and guys were still wearing flared polyester slacks. tom watson, seve and trevino hamming it up for the camera, i still have a texmex hat. plenty of good players back then, i remember all of them.
Wonderful video, many thanks! It is a pleasure to see the old guys again and that birdie machine Couples was sometimes. Does anybody know the title of the opening music? I have been looking for it for ages!
it amazing. they said fred hit a 2 or 3 iron 220 yds. today that would be a 7 or 8 .balls and clubs man,amd also,players are stronger with way more swing tecnology
Vintage Freddy Couples is what I’m here for. Pure tempo since way back!
same
my 2 favs .freddie and lee buck
Dude, Fred was a beast! That 212 yard 7-iron into 18 was crazy considering the lofts of the clubs and balls they used back then.

Yep. These guys were way longer than people give them credit for.
He actually hit it about 195, the 212 was to the hole. Obviously it was still a hell of a strike with a wound golf ball and the loft of an 8 iron now.
@@kalebblagdon2747 That's why they call him "Boom Boom"!

amazing how much that course has changed. notice the fwy on 16 and the porta potties behind 17 tee, lol
Golf's prime years up til 95
This was a great time in golf.so many great players!!
I agree but we're constantly being told how much stronger the fields are these days ....
the porno-type music cracks me up!
can you imagine how long seve and fred would be with today's balls and clubs
alot of golf visor hats too.
I was there - sitting next to the ex Mrs Couples at 18. She ran out and jumped him!
19:00 Craig Stadler never changed LMAO.
lol yeah he had a temper
He was a lot thinner then and his swing was longer though.
i think that the top ten players back then were better, but the overall field is stronger today. jmo
agree.i could do without the music

Wow....left on 12 used to be no bargain pre-reno. They really softened a lot of parts of this course over the years....
Was Summerall not the doziest commentator of all time or maybe equal with Larry Merchant in boxing.
watson telling someone to take the headphones off. typical watson being a d--k to the fans. to the general public he was not very nice
