Legacy Of The Links - Explore Golf’s History With Lee Trevino

[@formerfarmer1718]

Absolutely time well spent, Mr. Trevino. You, sir, are the best ambassador of golf the US could ever hope for, sir. Be well, Sir……..

[@B1900pilot]

This is really a very good video! And, Semper Fi to Mr. Trevino

[@adrianbrown278]

Beautiful. What a top bloke Lee Trevino is.

[@vordman]

I've never heard a bad word said about him.

[@dpmaine]

Great stuff ! Lee is a legend. The perfect host for this program

[@dennism5731]

Fantastic viewing. Lee Trevino was my grandfathers favourite player, and I still have a set of John Letters “MasterMex” clubs in the loft.

[@mikeoakley7470]

Excellent story and narration by Trevino.

[@alitob5911]

Fantastic. I mean stylistically it's very dated to watch now, but the content is just wonderful. The intervews with Alfie Fyles, Tip Anderson and Arnold Palmer were lovely. Great stuff. Thanks for uploading and sharing this.

[@themontgomeryc]

This style is much better.

[@jms6887]

Lee is my favourite player of all time, this was a treat

[@Araconox]

Having the Merry Mex play golf has been a real boon to the great game. I have had the good fortune to have watched him play up close in 1972, 1984 , and 1985, and each time the memory sticks in my mind. All our heroes are fading away.

[@Grumfuttocks]

Presented by an absolute legend of the game. Really enjoyable, informative vid to watch…. Highly recommend it 👍🇬🇧

[@jamesRice-kj3zd]

Classic Trevino shots

[@robertarthur2482]

Pleased I have had the chance to watch such a great film ,thank you.

[@harrymelad942]

Nice one Lee. And Arnold is pure class in this.

[@82camino96]

Wow this is amazing, very glad I found it. Every cameo is excellent. Watson, Trevino, the prince, etc. Genuine love of the game, and it’s history.

[@wendiolly6890]

Pleased I have had the chance to watch such a great film ,thank you.

[@cormackjames]

I hope you recycled that bottle Lee, leaving glass on the beach is dangerous for the kiddies 😀 Thanks for posting, I spent my summer holidays at Kinkel Braes for several years as a kid, St. Andrews is an amazing town. Lee is top 5 fav golfer for sure!

[@Araconox]

When Arnold Palmer started to play the British Open in 1960, he started the tradition for American and many other players from other countries to play the Open as well. Just like Arnold Palmer got the Senior Tour in the States moving when they changed the age to start playing to 50, when he turned 50, from 55. The King of Golf, without a doubt, and my hero.

[@kenbunn2934]

I grew up in new Mexico and Lee will always be my FAV. Shot makers and imagination is what brought me to the game that and the good people you meet along the way. Great Story

[@christopherfranklin972]

Many thanks for a wonderful upload,Trevino was right about St. Andrews,it is a magical place and on my first visit as I stood on the 1st tee and thought about all those who had played there,the hairs stood up on the back of my neck! This should be made compulsory viewing for PGA Tour members,I think they could learn an enormous amount about respect and humility from watching Doug,Arnold,Tom and Lee.

Lee Trevino...Thank Gawd...

[@Jerryemcse]

The place is haunted, with vampires. Lee is the best and an inspiration to common people who can now play golf ⛳️ thank you Merry Mex.

[@jamesdavis5517]

Lee speaks so well and is very entertaining, it make you wonder why he didn’t get a speaking part in Happy Gilmore.

[@stangetz534]

because adam sandler is an egomaniac

[@salfordnick5336]

St andrews is pure magic, just love the place... Even if you can't play any golf, just walking round the place always gave me goose bumbs.... It's a very special place

[@billmason2785]

Lee Trevino is amazing....I copied his cut swing in 1984.....it's a reliable technique

[@DMR4736]

Lee is the best. It would have been nice to have talked to Jack, being he won twice at Andrews, '70 and '78

[@dilbyjones]

Great find

[@jameshoran8]

I loved when Lee once said an entire new generation was introduced to him when he was in Happy Gilmour.

[@Araconox]

My brother -in- law played Saint Andrews once in the late seventies. He is a pretty fine player and had an older fella - probably in his sixties at the time- ,caddying for him that day. The man carried his clubs. The man said that he had caddied for 50 years and at one time carried for Bobby Jones. They were playing the first hole and Ken hit a pretty good drive and asked the caddy to hand him a wedge for the approach shot. This fellow , in his fine Brogue accent said: 'Nie laddie.. hit this .' And handed him a 4 iron! Ken hit the ball 20 feet from the hole! Hard to get perspective in that course, apparently.

[@cormackjames]

I am guessing this film was made between 79-85? Surprised Lee didn't mention Seve near the beginning or Nick Faldo.

[@wreckim]

Lee is so entertaining and poignantly witty. Yet, he shows us he knows how to ask a question, and sit back and listen. As a side note, I see Lee as a strange mix of William Shatner and Tuco from the Good, Bad, Ugly. Great post.

[@rhize797]

The first golf balls were probably stones and the first golf clubs were basically like a shephards stick.

[@johnclark3697]

TREVINO ICON. END OF.

Every home garage needs a set of clubs❤

[@adrianleman5158]

Hogan never stepped on the swilken bridge.

[@williamloh9018]

Cool that they mention Dutch sailors, since the Dutch probably are the inventors of golf. The dunes on their cost look like a golf course too, and there was a game called goff or colf played with sticks and stones...way back in the day. So it may be that the Scots have copied them and then said "We've found it." And they have had more painters and power and red coats... Things that make you go Hmmmmmm...and Saint Andrews is the coolest course anywhere. Just watched the rest of it and Archie set the record straight...in Gullane. Thanks for the cool video...and Lee Trevino.

[@dlamiss]

Watson is my golfing hero and i dont think Trevino gets the credit especially in the UK for being as good as he was. One of VERY few players since WW2 to win the Open in consecutive years. Even Jack didnt manage that

[@sparticale1954]

I predicted Watson later in his day to win the open. Sadly not to be, (ego denied) but enjoyed. .

[@davidr5961]

During the late 70's- early 80's , Watson was simply the best. Lee is a such an excellent interviewer; If not for these two greats, Jack might have won another five majors.

[@dlamiss]

@@davidr5961 Well he would certainly have won at Turnberry in 77, the Masters 81 and US open in 82. Watson was probably the only golfer to consistantly beat Nicklaus although it ust be added Watson was almost 10 years younger

[@DMR4736]

@@dlamiss The one major upset the I remember most, was the playoff at Merion, in 71, when Jack lost to Trevino, at a time when no one expected it

[@johnbuie966]

Annie did.

Ben Hogan never played at ST A's he played 1 Open at Carnoustie

[@tigerdicky8096]

Magical

[@maamold]

Funny how they made it "appear" that Archie Baird and Lee were in the same room together by cheesy camera cuts 37:35. Great info though, good find!

[@christiansfortruth5953]

7.00 Get on with it will yo😅u !!!!

[@samking4179]

14:58 ... Hogan never "echoed his spikes off this bridge." He never made it to St. Andrews. What an oversight on the writers part.

[@maamold]

Agreed. Although I can't imaging being a golfer and not playing The Old Course.

[@sparticale1954]

Is this is in referance to Hogans extra spike

[@user-hq4gu1jb3n]

Yes, I noticed that. Hogan only came over the one time when he won at Carnoustie.

[@skellvarnsen23]

" Never on Sunday ". Consecrated? How things change. Or do they? Yes, it's a great game. Leave it there.

[@Slainte-Mhath]

Nice Vid, thx but uggggh the opening ramble of the narrator: man learn some history. He says "before Cook discovered Australia" WTF, Cook did not discover Australia, he wasn't even close to being the first European to visit.

As much as i love golf, that has to be the most embarrassingly cheesy programme I've watched. Appreciate it was made a few decades ago 🤮. Were there no young people in St Andrews at the time. Everyone that was interviewed looked very old 👴

[@Sueezedtight]

Every "era" has its exception to the cookie-cutter, cliche talking "pros" and Lee was the most likeable kind. As much a pleasure to watch and listen to as he had doing this presentation. Classic.
