I love this man. I was ten years old when he won his first U.S. Open and watched him on TV. Being Hispanic I was overcome with pride and this accomplishment is what got me into a life-long love of the game of golf. I've been playing for over 50 years now and Lee Buck Trevino still inspires me. He is a national treasure and a model for the American spirit. God bless you Lee!

[@davidstoner6604]

One of the greatest to ever play the game. Thank you Lee. You are a American treasure. It's been a privilege to see you play.

[@beedee9534]

Outside powers gave them a gift like Lee Hogan Moe Jack Tiger it was given the rest is crap your chosen since day one Seve Bobby Jones a sickly i practiced till the cows came hone for 20 years and never made it my hands bled i read books i guess my 4 foot 5 inch frame wasn't there

[@sappermade6012]

One of the greatest ball strikers of all time! I met him at the GHO him and Sammy Davis were bombed lol

[@blairsterling6141]

I was lucky enough to play with Trevino in the Tucson Open. He hit the ball extremely, extremely accurately. He also was very, very competitive. Very tough mentally. His joking was a deceptive practice. Inside he was dead serious. Incredibly good at golf. 6 majors !!! ⛳

[@briankurek9700]

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Trevino in 1985 at the Belfry when he was captain of the US Team.I worked there and served him and his team at the end of the match in a private room . Even though they had lost, he and the team were gentlemen and a true professionals.

Wow, how inspirational and cool is that !!!!!

[@m.o.5137]

Loved him. Followed him at the PGA at Firestone for nine holes in the practice round, and he threw a wedge at me , and let me carry it down the fairway, with 20 other young kids. Great person, and great player

[@anneglines47]

Thank you Lee for what you have done for the game. I have always enjoyed watching you.

[@CEHowe44]

May dad always had me watching Lee Trevino growing up

[@suzyflorida1193]

One of the greats and a true inspiration to millions.

[@paulmorin2234]

I wish I would have had the chance to watch him on the course. Sometimes TV isn't the same.

[@Jimmy-2-Times]

He really is

[@LeeTrevinoFans]

He's brilliant and why we started a channel for him!

[@stevengriffin5349]

Watched him jak it up in a senior event ; The starter was White lady with buck teeth and euro accent ...... as a veteran he asked her about the accent ( Polish ) So he starts in WWII how German nawed through countries. Wasn’t really funny , couldn’t get away with that now ( 1998 )

[@johngremillion8663]

Lee hits the best check wedge ever. two bounce and stop. beautiful

[@jamesmason9925]

Lee is an absolute master of the game and has the ability to make people laugh also ... a rare talent! :)

[@8563robbie]

I love Lee Trevino

[@michaelsmith-uz1yv]

I love this guy, he is so nice. I had the pleasure of meeting him and following around a course, he never shuts up, but he can hit the ball. His style has influenced and we are almost the same age. Somebody tell me where i can get one of his hats.

[@MM-qi5mk]

One of my heroes along with Mr Hogan. They had similar upbringings and both regarded as the best ball strikers ever ( Jack Nicklaus said this much ). Go figure.

[@igrand6473]

The man.

[@jgfunk]

What a life!

[@michaelnivens6267]

My personal favorite - the Merry Mex- a great golfer

[@williamtaylor5193]

Not many owned their swing the way Lee Trevino did. Hard work and talent.

[@dankool688]

Legend 🏌️‍♂️

[@mickturner8727]

Genius

[@andrewpinkham7419]

What a guy..

[@sappermade6012]

Where can I get one of those hats !!!!

[@patrickwheeler7107]

Personality-wise none better.

[@EmraldoDaSilva]

Grizzly Adams DID have a beard

[@Pronzini1]

No one had more guts than Lee Trevino. When he was in the running, he never folded up, even when his opposition was Jack Nicklaus or Gary Player. He was a Marine machine-gunner, not a country club brat, and when he got up against the rich kids, he never backed down. His only mistake was his temper which he let talk him into not playing the Masters bec. he hated Clifford Roberts. Roberts was a bigot, and Lee could not stand the man...so for three years, right in his prime, he did not play the Masters. It's too bad, bec he could have laughed in Roberts face if he had won it.

[@redpez4886]

He’s not a bitter person Alex

[@jeffreysmith5175]

Lee Trevino a Gusty guy. Loved his game and outgoing personality. A true legend.

[@williamtaylor5193]

@@jeffreysmith5175 There was a lot about the Masters that Lee didn't like---the privilege, the formality, the tradition, etc., but also the course. He would be the first to tell you that his trajectory wasn't suited for Augusta.

[@Pronzini1]

@@redpez4886 didnt say he was bitter. He just couldn't stomach the bigot Clifford Roberts

[@pavan151]

Can you get into Golfing after 25?

[@VegasDave53]

Absolutely !!! I play just as well in my 60's as I did in my 20's

[@jeffreysmith5175]

It just goes to show how hard you have to work at being really good in golf. Lee Trevino and many others spent countless hours on the course. It's not something you gotta do, it's something that's in your blood. It comes naturally. Your work ethics are way above your average Joe blow. Lee Trevino had that, like Nicklaus and alot of others on the golf tour. Tiger Woods worked on his game starting early as 4 in the morning until dark. 70 to 80 hours a week. So you wanna be good I mean really good, well your better have the work ethics to be able to do that.

[@williamtaylor5193]

So true man. Like Hogan said, there isn't enough day light to practice everything you need in golf. Every golfer knows that the weakest link in the chain has a way of finding you over the course of 18 holes. The only way to succeed is to be prepared for everything.

[@alex302duran]

We need more Mexican Americans like him

[@dpardo74]

We need more men like him..period. The world would be a better place if folks worked hard and held themselves responsıble for theır successes and faılures.

Two PROVEN FACTS in Golf: Francis Oiumet and Lee Trevino. "Grizzly Adams did have a beard."

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

Inspired by MySwingEvolution which used Ben Hogan as his model......I started down the road of following Lee's Action! Take a look at IG: Livenearpar_golf .....totally unorthodox but simply put I can find my ball every time now!

[@MM-qi5mk]

O. G. , I didn’t learn how to hit a golf ball properly until I tried using his action !!

[@paulcontreras3264]

Dirt floors, outdoor plumbing. Persistence.

[@patricklee780]

Had he not been struck by lightning, he would have won more majors.
