My favorite golfer of my generation. I was fortunate enough to get a picture taken with him at the BC Open and years later he signed it when Davis love won at wing foot. 😎thanks Fred for always making it fun to watch you play

I will never forget going with my Dad to Westchester in the early 90's when Fred was at his best, and seeing the look on his face when Fred launched one on a par-5.

I walked in the gallery with Fred's group in Memphis, TN back in the mid 80's. I think Payne Stewart was in that group as well. But I was amazed at how Fred could curve the golf ball at will and how solid he hit the ball. His shots were just amazing and I'll never forget that experience. I still have the tournament booklet with his autograph in it along with several others. A true humble and gifted player.

I've seen Fred play twice. The sound his irons make is distinct, as well as the ball struck.

The Masters is the best major. Because after you win you get to come back every year. So we get Freddie coming back and nearly winning the thing still every other year.

Love Fred Couples. I'm a bit surprised at all the golfers he mentioned he's been close to that didn't show up.
@miloslavbritovic10124 жыл бұрын
Freddie was the first professional swing I saw up close. It was at Colonial in ‘95 on the 2nd hole. Here’s the play by play: FC - “Where’s the wind?” Caddie (Joe) “It’s off the left side” FC - Swish! The most relaxed yet blinding fast swing through the ball. Absolutely stunning. Great video. 👍👍
@brianclark3503 Жыл бұрын
How a guy can stand over a ball, stay flat footed with his hands behind his head at the top, and then (even in slow motion) get through a ball so fast you can't see a thing...hits it so far, so effortlessly, shrugs, goes to find it and does it again, and again even now on the Champions Tour. He's awesome to watch. Freddie is one of the greats of the game. "Wow".

Dear Lord, I love that man. So cool, calm, collected, classy, nice guy and a swing that is smoother than silk. The epitome of a gentleman golfer. Freddy, if you read any of these comments, you might realize what a positive impact you have made on so many people who love golf and love you. Thank you for being you, it has been our joy and pleasure to watch your wonderful career unfold over these many years. God bless you, Mr Freddy Couples.

Big thumbs up to a guy you just want to see succeed. That said,. I don't know what the hell some of the golfers he mentioned as important to him found more important things to do that evening, but shame on them for not being there and honoring someone who has meant so much to the game.

I’m 70 years old and I’ve had 3 favorite golfers in my lifetime,the first Tom Weiskopf not sure why except he was 6’3” and so was I and he was married to Miss Ohio and I was married to a beautiful girl at that time .The second was Fred Couples because he was so COOL .The girls loved him and the guys wanted to be him,that syrupy swing we tried to copy and of course we couldn’t. I wish he had had a little Fred.If interested my third was Phil Mickleson for several reasons and I still pull for him but I’m afraid he’s near the end of his golfing career.Im wondering who the next will be. Maybe Fowler

Fred is the best of the best, he invented golf. He invented birdies and eagles and hole in one's and also gap wedges. He also invented golf carts. The best, number 1 in the entire 🌎!!! That speaks volumes. And Fred also invented pizza and spaghetti with fish tacos. So yeah, he's a BIG deal. He's the main event. He's the Big Boss!! Mr. Green Jacket. Fred is fast as a Lynx. But also smooth like a vokey bv. Fred Couples is rite up there with God, The Pricness, and The King. Fred invented golf tees, golf flags, golf shoes, and top golf. He also has hand built driving ranges with fun targets to fire at. Fred invented the Augusta, and he help plant the magnolias, up magnolia lane. Fred also stop 2 bank robbers by hitting them from 300 yards away with a pitching wedge. Fred also saved me money on car insurance by switching to geico. Fred taught Chuck Norris how to be a bad mammer jammer and hitting shot with the Hammer x.
