Fred Couples 1st Round @ The 2022 Masters

Fred Couples 1st Round @ The 2022 Masters
Recorded off the internet. NO Commentary, Just Footage. ENJOY!!!

[@fd4639]

Best swing flow I’ve ever seen. Effortless harmonic magic swing. Seems an awesome man as well.

[@topmech71]

One of the smoothest swings you will ever see, Ernie Els is another that comes to mind. Using a yellow ball because he can't see...LOL maybe.

[@philserna3581]

I agree. The best swing in golf bar none.

[@brandonjordan2516]

Absolutely. Freddie, Ernie Els and Vijay all have it. I love Tiger but I always follow those three around at the Masters just to see it.

[@maxibonkiswa]

@@brandonjordan2516 Nelly Korda has it too

[@lkae4]

@@topmech71 Malnati won with a yellow ball, hah. Fred Couple has Steelfiber shafts. I have them coming in a new set because my joints can no longer handle steel. My golfing prime is over, now enjoying the slow sunset. It's ok. I've always enjoyed chasing the sun to finish a round.

[@GhostStylez]

Over the years watching Mr. Couples is always enjoying the silky smooth golf swing!!! Let's go Freddy!!!

[@RonnieSouthbuckle]

I'll attempt to go poetic on this one: Watching Fred Couples brings back childhood memories. Of sitting on the couch with my Dad on Sunday evenings, watching these tournaments, with Jim Nantz narrating, and being able to hear the chirp of the birds from the tournament come across the broadcast. My Dad was a huge Freddy fan, and I naturally liked him as well. But, who wouldn't. His swing is so relaxed, and seems to coincide with his personality: totally relaxed, not taking things overhwelmingly seriously.

[@hazy-]

Would love to play a round with Freddy, David Duval, and Matt Kuchar.

[@wa7019]

Freddy reminds any golfer that hitting the ball correctly with tempo is the most important thing you can do for a successful golf swing....truly a thing of beauty and excellent video.

[@chinooksilver]

Thank you. Fred Couples is, and will always be my favorite golfer of all time. Next year Freddie. Let's go!

[@timlillard390]

Mr. Granch - Thanks for posting these videos of Mr. Couples. I still follow him every chance I get. Many years ago I played to a 2 handicap and patterned my swing after Fred. I'm 77 now and haven't been on a course in 23 years due to a motorcycle accident. I still have Fred's old driver and 3-wood. I just started to swing my clubs again and hope to get out on the links again soon. These videos of Fred inspire me to work on my game and mimic his great rhythm. Thanks again.

[@kevinj3511]

Sorry about your accident, hope your back out there slaying it!

[@Riley_Mundt]

Got to see him tee off at Monday's practice round. Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods had to make sure everyone was watching before hitting their drives. Then Boom-boom just goes up, puts his ball on the tee, and hits a beautiful drive. No unnecessary preamble, just a great golfer.

[@Pamajino]

This is what I was waiting for thank you!!!

[@tonyk501]

It's unfortunate that this man, Fred Couples, is a mortal man and won't live and play golf forever, because it would sure be nice to keep seeing him play this game forever. Hands down, he is the owner of the most beautiful and majestic golf swing in the history of golf. And there may never be another Fred Couples for as long as the game of golf is played by humans.

[@King3star]

Thanks for posting this video. Back in the day, Couples made a few video's. One was 'Tempo'. I watched that video so many times and patterned my own swing after his. Legendarily rhythmic, smooth, effortless. Just a beautiful swing to watch. Thanks again, Mike.

[@chaoticpanda-bb9bx]

Fascinating how he swings so effortlessly and the ball goes so far

[@greengrass1072]

I unrealistically still root for Fred to win this thing. He’s my guy and it’s tough watching the people you root for forever get older. That said, he still has the length to compete at this course, that’s why he’s here. He’s so damn close that if he makes that first long putt, he could catch fire with the putter. Get to even or +1 and make the cut and go from there. One more run baby, it would be GREAT.

[@markmcbridelaw]

I'm the same way. Can't sleep on Freddy. He's always there. I'm like, "C'mon, just one more!"

[@mangravy2000]

He's made respectable runs in the last 10 years but the older he gets the stronger the field gets. Pro golfers have picked up 6 strokes over their 1960s counterpart.

[@greengrass1072]

@Fred Wills No, not really, but you’re right. He’s 62 years old and could still pound it, that’s what I meant. It would help if he played more than once since Thanksgiving also, that might help with the ball placement. Only once was he able to go for the green on a par 5 on his second shot due to where he hit his drive. Don’t even get me started on his putting. The two rounds this year, he left every single putt short and it seemed like he had the right line on most of them. It got to the point where I wasn’t hoping he made one, but that he went past the hole for once. Putting was never really a strength of his anyway.

[@Simon-nv5zj]

@@greengrass1072 unfortunately, he cant pound it anymore. hes averaging something like 280 off the tee which is btm of the ladder. Hes 62, so its to be expected. H ewill always remain one of my favourites to watch especially at the Masters.

[@geuros]

I'm still also rooting for him and honestly when he's +2 when leaders are on -2 in 2nd round, not bad. In 2012 he was co-leading after 3rd round I think, and he still has it. I just think he needs to score early, he tends to get more exhausted for the 4th round

[@widespreadgaming9082]

the absolute most effortless swing ever.. I followed every tourney I went too.. great guy as well...

[@morgo5000]

Unintentional ASMR. Love this format of every shot and no commentary

[@plusfour1]

Ya, it's pretty cool. You can see the player's course management etc.

[@mh-do3pe]

Same, so tranquil and peaceful

[@mbodinski4351]

100% How can I find more videos like this? Not sure how I'd even search this out

[@brendensolis5349]

i need more videos of this stuff, this is amazing. No commentary, just straight to every shot. Well done.

[@jpj1703]

Smooth as silk. Effortless swing. Thanks for posting this. Love Boom Boom!

[@jadesmith6823]

Always Utterly Smooth 🙏🙌

[@joemeeker5211]

Really enjoy this, every shot, great idea. Let’s see more of these

[@80zmtlman]

Thanks again Mike...very cool footage. First rate..

[@paulmarsh8974]

I never warmed up to Freddy until I watched him and Daly play each other on Shells Wonderful World of Golf (can be seen on KZbin)... I soon changed my mind... What a great fella and probably one of the best swings ever..

[@karlpenning1302]

Boom Boom is a Fav

[@robertbird6387]

Yeah, I love that match! I’ve watched it many times and the PGA Tour KZbin channel has a high quality post of it. Couples and Daly are my two favorite players. Being a 90’s kid, they were always on tv.

[@geoffsumner9672]

Thank you Mike...

[@Araconox]

He played much better than the score indicates. Not many flaws in his game at all... even at 63 he still has a chance, which gives us all hope to play the game into our old age.

[@jonwill]

Nice job; thank you for sharing.

[@ennetttrue]

One of the greatest ambassadors to golf..and without bragging from.my home state Washington..

[@pckid6780]

The most rhythmic and effortless swing ever. Simply beautiful.

[@topmech71]

Yes...but unorthodox though, strong grip, starting the club offline dropping it back inside is not what you would necessarily teach someone. But it's a thing of beauty no doubt.

[@fatkiefbowls]

@@topmech71 yea they'll slice that bitch

[@nokia5359]

I still Cant see how he hit it so far with a swing like that. Must be magic 😀

[@davisrogers6348]

That up & down for par at 16 was something. That bunker shot was not easy

[@johnlaw6735]

What a seemly effortless swing!

[@ciaster]

what a feel player - magical

[@easttexan2933]

other than Tiger, there has never been another golfer that I always wanted to win the tournament. Fred's golf swing just looks so effortless. The little flick of the hands on the downswing; I just don't know of anyone else that has that move. WTG Fred !!

[@christianvachon2235]

Still the smoothest swing in golf, IMHO!

[@kathrynleaser5093]

Still a thrill to watch Freddy Couples. The man is silky smooth. Best wishes to you Freddy. You keep entertaining in classic style.👍😄😎

[@philwoodyuk]

Thanks

[@allcapsROB]

What I like about Fred (aside from that swing) is you can tell Dude’s just out there having fun. No stress. No need to win. Just having fun.

[@johnnates7264]

Love how effortless Freddy’s swing is

[@YoYoZamolo]

What a player

[@davidgonzalez5682]

Will be awesome see him wining again the masters

[@optimisticcosmic]

Glad to see Fred’s pregnant, now his legacy can continue.

[@flynngames4703]

Fun to watch old boom boom play again

[@brmillgr]

so smooth

[@jimtownsend7899]

I'd rather watch Fred play than that guy that's coming back to the game after being injured. Boom Boom has always been a favorite. That swing is liquid velvet.

[@jimtownsend7899]

@@czech-street-workout4193 Freudian slip, or lack of familiarity with the language?

[@dathyr1]

I like Fred Couples and the way he swings. Seems his iron play and approach shots are what gave him fits and in trouble. I watched the first 7 holes of the video and his Driver he hit very well.

[@jherl8307]

Freddy's sun has set. He isn't even that competitive on the Senior Tour nowadays but he is still great to watch make a difficult game look easy. The three smoothest swingers of the golf club that I have ever witnessed (in no particular order) are: Sam Snead, Ernie Els, and Fred Couples. Plus all hit with power as well.

[@bmason3856]

i completely agree with those 3 choices. i've always tried to swing as smooth as possible like those 3 gentlemen. And have always admired those in other sports who are so fluid and make the games look easy. its pure art and poetry

[@pb12661]

bobby jones and Payne Stewart are right there too in regard to smooth swings. IMO

[@mikejones-go8vz]

I always forgive players not acknowledging the crowds in these tournaments, concentration and in the zone, but it doesn’t hurt, does it ? Love watching this guy

[@storlaxen7116]

Smoothest EVER !!

[@mikerichardson8983]

That swing is still smooth as butter! Still one of my favorites.

[@nicolacristi]

looks so enjoyable my friend!

[@avzeolla3960]

I don’t meditate or do yoga. When I want to relax I watch Fred couples swing a golf club.

[@emptysea1137]

Wow! Smoothed his way around it like melting butter 🧈 Butter 🧈 hands

[@jimcook8933]

Fred and I finally have something in common. The wife always tells me I'm out of shape. And I always remind her that ROUND is a shape! Boom Boom still got some game in him.

[@haroldmetzger3534]

He loves to play this course. So easy going. Thank god that ball stayed out of Raes creek on 12 in 92.

[@kensonkaens]

That smooth

[@bobnodzo535]

Just smooth as silk a model for all to follow

[@freshtendrills5969]

Boom Boom!!

[@lincolnshaw5179]

Fred going in with a lot of artillery on 11 after a 285yard drive. That hole is brutal

[@karlpenning1302]

Miss watching Boom Boom Play a Game Of Skins..No Pressure JUST Laughs,& Fun!

[@highwayno4]

Pred!!Pred!! You are my hero!!

[@totalcaregardenmaintenance9864]

Beautiful swing and tempo, he seemed very tentative with the putter during this round

[@Jmotwa87]

I could watch Freddy swing all day long

[@amateurgolfersshow]

Fred couples is legend

[@papasquat355]

I fight with myself every time I swing a club to emulate Couples. His swing is so smooth and effortless.

[@Javiglez1]

Flow Flow Flow, what a swing!

[@sazarac28]

His putting has improved

[@blacklight4460]

1:03 Picks up the tempo on 2nd tee. That's no old man move!

[@Realistic316]

i still remember his win in 1992 like it was yesterday

[@scottmitchell1861]

Freddy doesn't finish well much these days; but he still has the most fluid swing I've ever seen. His timing is brilliant. I'm 58 and he's always been my favorite to watch. Looks like he put on a few pounds recently. I will watch him any time the golf media will show him. Most natural swing ever

[@x6011]

Wow! How an effortless swing he made! I am wondering how far it can go for the firtst shot.

[@ikaikamaleko8370]

Still smooth as silk, even in his 60s.

[@hlurpseed]

The most perfect, effortless golf swing ever.

[@JC-sj2pd]

Such a cool cat!

[@brian-doesnt-know]

he could be any middle aged man you see on your local course; but hes a legend, great energy about him

[@billyd78]

Such a long course for a senior player. He did well. Just the one bad swing on the par three that cost him two shots.

[@kennymay9036]

smooth

[@bensabin7921]

Swag dripper 🔥💙

[@Jrgoldenbear]

The GOAT

[@widespreadgaming9082]

He said the next tourney he wins he is retiring.. from his own mouth.. but to see him win a masters would be so EPIC!!!!

[@yrbadself]

Freddy is such a class act! He could have easily ended up 2-3 under par. Just missed a number of putts. Gotta root for the guy!

[@MH3GL]

Tee shots on 2 and 12 killed him. Otherwise, a good round. Still got that beautiful swing...

[@mrpolsco6872]

Fred Couples: Blast from the past had me thinking of Greg Norman🦈 Nick Faldo, Curtis Strange, Bernard Langer, Nick Price etc

[@Kgolf18]

How did you get this footage? Was it streamed somewhere?

Ahhhhhh do they have a seniors masters tournament at anybody know?

[@dustindavidson849]

Fred stopped by the local putt-putt to pick up a sleeve of balls on the way to the tournament.

[@grundy333]

If he had the putter going, would be at even pretty easily. Just generally didn't drop many.

[@nztama]

My man

[@todd9031]

We talk of great golf swing such as Tiger Woods. I find Fredrick Couples golf swing relaxing to watch as the most effortless and precise....

[@tmcge3325]

Couples is the most talented lazy golfer I have ever watched.....not taking anything away, simply adding!

Just a class act playing a casual round at the masters.

[@earnwithhearn180]

15:00 Freddie hooks one into the trees and a weekend hacker says “good ball Freddie”. 😒

Fred's also gone back to using his old Callaway FTI 3 Wood.

Disgustingly smooth swing. Effortless.

Nice round Freddie
