I took my 6yo son to watch the senior open at Saucon Valley many years ago. During the practice round on a very hot day Mr. Trevino handed my son a bottle of iced water from a large barrel at the tee. He then looked at the sweating fans and handed out Gatorade and water to everyone who wanted one. What a class act and fine gentleman.

Lee Trevino is a national treasure. I could listen to him all day whether it be about golf or life! Such a great man and a great ambassador for the game!

Lee is a phenomon. Hard to belive he's 82. Passion, rare talent and huge personality.

[@metrodetroitgolfers]

Such passion!

[@christopherkane2842]

Love Lee he is the man of golf ⛳️ Saw him 1975 at Canadian open & his caddy were hilarious! I miss that old banter & class act

[@Pronzini1]

Lee is 81 years old and he is still teaching people how to play golf. He studied everyone he played with, and took away whatever they did well. Then he went and practiced it. You don't see Nicklaus or Floyd or Irwin giving clinics to anyone, but ole Lee is still loving the game and helping others to love it too.

Always admired that he is self- taught and grew up playing on the hard scrabble of west Texas , not at some country club , but yet whipped some of the best players of his era.

When Mr Trevino passes away, he will take more golf knowledge with him that anyone could imagine. Even if a stenographer started now, I don’t think there would be enough time to capture it all. He’s a savant and is truly one of the greatest to ever play the game. Love this guy!!

[@jerrymoore8364]

He will probably say to Saint Peter"Nice place you got here Pete,How's the golf course?

[@CG89119]

Idk but I read this as "Mr Trevino passed away". Relieved

[@andrefecteau]

@MeandMyStaffy agree, all you have to know about golf, and I'm a golf pro, is that putting is 50% of the game...guess where most are standing? yep, on the tees hitting, there are only 14 drives but 36 putts...? It's why the S Koreans own the LPGA

[@andrefecteau]

@MeandMyStaffy yep, I'm 55 been a pro 20 years, if you can putt you can hit..it's never the other way around...keep in the short grass my friend and thanks for posting

[@TomForsythe1]

@@andrefecteau True that not enough people focus on their putting but you'd think I do that too if all you did was watch me at the range. I do most of my putting practice at home on a carpet. I putt over a yardstick to check my stroke then to furniture legs at different distances for variety. I still putt some when I'm practicing at the course, but that's just icing. The groove happens at home.

Trevino spoke to me when I was 15, I didn’t know who he was. I was assembling partition fences at Royal Liverpool and he was practicing but he still had time to chat with people. I had no interest in golf but play now. I’m now 70 and would love to have that conversation now, one of the great golfing characters.

One of my favorite of all time. He always had a good time playing the game. Never took it too serious. Yet he's majored twice. Legend here in Texas.

[@metrodetroitgolfers]

The best! Hope you sub for me

[@wreckim]

Trevino is the most underrated talent we've ever seen on the golf course, and he actually has a good reputation. It's just that he so different from anyone else that's ever played. And it's not a Moe Norman thing either, because he was able to take his talent and win at any level, with anybody, but also understands why everybody else's swing etc..work for THEM. Crazy good.

[@metrodetroitgolfers]

He's fantastic

[@derekec]

Underrated???? Not if you followed golf when these guys were on the competitive circuit. One of the fiercest competitors dangerous to everyone, the one "they" had to beat. Thems were the days. Too mechanical for me these days all the romance and flamboyance gone. It wasn't just golf then, it was jovial, fun, entertainment with Lee right there.

I've said for over forty years, if I could have dinner and a evening with any Golfer in history it would be Lee Trevino, just to ask an occasional question but mainly sit back and let him talk golf and life. That would be my golf bucket list, maybe not much of a list for some but I've dearly loved this game of golf we play for fifty of my seventy years, so at this time in my life that's my list.

[@berriejasper2631]

Lee is one of my all time heroes. I was fortunate to attend one of his clinics at El Dorado Golf Course in Long Beach CA, about 1985. Still one of my best golf lesson, learning experiences.

[@darrellwilliams-uscgaux8037]

My dad didn't play golf but he loved Lee Trevino. He loved watching him and he loved his antics and personality. I think he showed average people that golf was attainable. Got to see him play on the senior tour in Hickory a few years ago and I thought of my dad. Interestingly enough many of these tips have been voiced by my husband while teaching his daughter golf.

[@garymartin9898]

Lee is a legend! Hard work and entertaining!

[@jrober42]

I went out yesterday after watching your Video and had 36 Stableford points even after not scoring on three holes. Your putting tip also helped . One of the players in our group commented on how well I was putting. I'm an old one legged codger pushing 80 and it was the best game I've played since a heart attack back in August. Here in Sydney it is Freedom day. It was great to be able to go the club after the game and enjoy a few "Schooners of Beer" with some Kiwi All-Black supporters. I myself am a "Skippy" a dinky-die Aussie. Thanks Lee for a great video it's certainly changed the way I now think about Golf. You and Ben Hogan are the best.

"Awesome" To Hear and Watch Him , Thank you Lee !!!

I could listen to him for days talking golf. Great man and a great golf genius.

[@richardgreen7811]

I lived in El Paso from 1972 through 1975 and spent short amounts of time around Lee. I lived in Memphis four years and attended the Saint Jude Classic Golf Tournament where Lee was a player/celebrity every year. There is not enough bit space on the worlds computers to relate the enormity of anecdotal commentary Lee exuded during his career. I have no idea how his fellow golfers stood up under the pressure of his amazing personality. The only time I ever saw Lee at a loss for words was when Gerald Ford (Lee's playing partner) hit a hole-in-one in the 1977 Tournament on hole #5. They even erected a granite boulder with a bronze plaque on the T-Box.

[@blaineharris4921]

Thank you Lee Trevino. The tip about pushing the handle of the putter back was eye-opening to me. How have I gotten this wrong for the past 30 years? I have always tried to do just the opposite. I consider myself a really good putter despite doing it incorrectly. I always worked on the pendulum concept. That made me try to keep the handle in the center and let the club head go back first. I played around this and unbelievable how much better the ball is rolling.

[@dirty_danglz3570]

I'm new to golf I wish they got a close up of him doing that. I have a putter in my hand kind of confused by it all.

I remember the first time I ever heard Lee Trevino's voice. It was during the 1968 US open and he was a nobody shooting the lights out. Some reporter asked him how he learned to swing a golf club with such precision. Lee said, "Hitting golf balls off hay bales in Texas." I thought in that moment that the world was in for a treat from this guy. Boy, was I right!

Lee Trevino is a very bright man. Possibly a genius. Not just a golf genius but intelligent in general. Had he pursued virtually any occupation he would have excelled. I am convinced of this after watching him and observing him for many years. I admire him and yes, I guess you could say that I idolize him.

[@exstncdotcom8692]

I used to follow Lee at the Byron Nelson tournament ... great golfer and very entertaining on the course ... 92 professional golf tournament wins ... more than any other player. Also best joke ever ... he was mowing his lawn in Dallas and a woman driving by asked him how much he charged to mow ... Lee said: "I don't charge anything but I get to sleep with the lady of the house" ... the woman rolled up her window and drove on.

I was able to volunteer @ the A T & T, OPEN, in San Antonio, Tx. I always requested to follow Mr. Trevino’s group cas he’d have us laughing the entire 18 holes of golf. He’s a “magician,” with a golf club in his hands. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@tombryant52jumpscoach]

This whole video is total gold (if you love golf) and immensely entertaining! I think Lee is having some fun with "Golf My Way" at the 18-minute mark and beyond. LOL. Still, Jack Nicklaus like Lee is a genius and I love both of them! Lee is one of the natural geniuses of my lifetime!

[@steveboyer3895]

I like Lee's great tip about setting up with a slightly closed stance for older golfers. It gets that rear hip out of the way and allows for a bigger turn for those who are less flexible. It also allows u to come from the inside when approaching the ball. Every other fundamental is still the same. Thank u Lee. Your a great enthusiastic player and instructor.

Flaring the feet out at an angle gives more hip turn as well.

I only saw Lee play once, during the Hawaiian Open decades ago. It was on a practice round so everyone was very loose and he had one of the largest galleries following him. I was so fortunate to see He and Chi Chi Rodriguez play together. I never laughed so much. These guys played off each other, like it a was a comedy act out of Vegas. Only Arnie and Jack had a comparable following, but NO ONE, I mean NO ONE was more entertained than the gallery that followed these 2 goodwill legends of the game.

Trevino talks down his ball striking at the start, to emphasize the fact that hard work plays in golf. But let me tell you - he was one heck of a ball striker. Flush, low, penetrating fades that sounded like a scythe going thru wheat.
