Gay Brewer, Jr. on the Range

In this rare interview recorded in 2005, listen to Gay Brewer, Jr. relay his early days as a junior golfer, his first few years on the tour then onto the world stage. He follows up with golf tips and his simple move then closes out with his chance golf instruction in the early 80's with Boom-Boom, none other than Mr. Freddy Couples. All priceless.

RIP. A great golfer and even greater man.

I had the great pleasure of knowing Mr Brewer while he lived at Gleneagles CC in Delray Beach l, FL. He shared quite a few stories with me and I always enjoyed his company. He was truly a gentleman and an icon in the game of golf. Rest well Uggy.

Great video, thanks for posting! These were the guys I watched growing up from the mid-60s into the seventies.

Dude if you go watch the video of Fred Couples on the range at the 2022 Master's, to this day he still cups that lead wrist like crazy, almost being a signature move of his, and to know that Brewer is the one who showed him that all the way in the beginning of his career and he used it until today is really quite amazing. I guess once you get your swing down in golf, you've got it.

My father got me Mr. Brewer's autograph one year the New Orleans Open was held. I always thought he had a funny swing, of course, but I love to analyze the oddball methods. He was a terrific player, that's for sure. What a record! Loved the connection with modern day favorite Freddie Couples, too.

Great interview for those who remember the man with the funny swing beating the Bear

A man's man and great striker of the ball in the times of Palmer Nicklaus Player Casper

I was at the At&t event sometime in the 1980's. I ran into him and he bet me $100 I couldn't slice this power pod driver. I took a practice swing and he took the club away from me LOL! I said "ok, no bet just let me try." I cut that thing real pretty but it wasn't easy as the face was really closed and the shaft position was such that it made it really hard to slice. I can play a little. He was a funny guy with me. Nice video, thanks!

Those were the days. The players today are a disgrace.
