Masters Golf Tournament 1966

[@godislarge1]

I’m 53 and born and raised in Augusta. Attended my first Masters in 1977 and followed Jack every tournament until he hit his last competitive shot on 9 in 2005. This video shows the absolute class and that I hope will come back again

I went to Billy Caspers' summer camp for kids in 1981. one of the boys asked Billy how he won the Masters, he dropped a ball on the range and hit a BEAUTIFUL high draw. he looked back at us and said "that's how" ☺

That was a great story, Thank you for sharing.

[@dr.dereksommersby6135]

What a great video! Thank you for sharing.

Arnie looks so relaxed and content walking with Nicklaus. After winning in '58, '60, '62 and '64, he probably figured it was his turn again in 1966. Close, but finished tied for 4th.

This is great! The best home movie of a pro golf tournament I have ever seen. Your dad looked like a fun guy. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Raphael3079]

Thank you Bobby.

[@owenburnett2718]

Fantastic video. It is wonderful watching so many golfing greats. Your father captured some very enjoyable footage.

[@ignatiusjk]

I can hear the sound of the projector and see the white sheet their watching this remarkable film on. Augusta looked so bare compared to today's Augusta. I like the shot of Bobby jones at the end.

[@kiwiinkampuchea]

Thanks Mark. Great bit of film and even for us New Zealanders as our famous golf son Sir Bob Charles is on here at 9.25 with Jack and Arnold. Best wishes.

[@Raphael3079]

Thank you Owen, that is just amazing. All the best. Mark

[@toddscallan8781]

Great upload.

[@glenfrazer753]

Really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing. Arnie and Jack looked like such good mates. So much footage of them just walking together like it was a Sat arvo social hit. Nice to see friendship meaning so much. Thanks again. Your Dad getting up to meet them. So funny....

[@ptrekboxbreaks5198]

Wow what great footage

[@Dentistmentalust]

I like the way the course looked here, wish they had left it looking like this, a bit sparse and easier for people to see more golfing action. Thanks for posting

Tommy Jacobs, who was in a three way playoff in the Masters (1966) with Gay Brewer and Jack Nicklaus is a personal friend of mine. He moved into our community here in Leland, NC a few years ago and became part owner in our course Magnolia Greens Golf Club. When his wife passed away a couple of years ago, he moved to Arizona to be closer to his sons. Tommy is a super guy and we miss him. We do stay in touch by phone from time to time. Playing golf on the weekends with him was always a treat. He would never give us tips....unless we asked. Thanks for posting this video, I will make sure Tommy sees it. He always said there is little or no video of the playoff. Tommy always said he was heartbroken over that loss. Who wouldn't???

[@Raphael3079]

Hi George, I really appreciate your comment and that you will pass the word to Tommy to see my Dads film. My Dad would have been happy to know. Have a Merry Christmas. Mark

[@golfing4par]

Mark, Merry Christmas to you and family as well.

[@VulcanLogic]

Sorry to see he passed 2 years ago.

[@frank3705]

Really enjoyed this. Many thanks

[@Benderthegr865]

Everything looks alright

[@jan-yngvehultin7461]

Great!

[@alydar21]

6:16 Tony Lema and wife just a couple of months before plane crash. Who is the guy signing autographs at 6:39 and 7:08? Did I see Byron? Ken Venturi, Julius Boros, and many others topped by Bob Jones himself at the end! Great stuff!

[@edsmilow9876]

Loved it!

[@thetruthfornow6045]

❤at 4:51 it looks like Jack and Armie were color coordinated. This was before global warming as it looked colder there than what we see now. Definitely a friendlier time as everybody was shaking hands and the fans were up close to the golfers. This was peak pro golf a parade of legends and past legends. This must have been a great time to be alive. I wonder how many fans druving to the tournament had their AM radio on and listened to the Beatles playing Paperback Writer or Nowhere Man. And how many young men were watching their mailbox hoping a draft notice did not come.

[@scottypersia5715]

May ALLAH reward you Mark and your Dad. Great find, thanks for sharing.

[@SethMacLeod95]

Jesus Christ my friend 🙏

[@DMR4736]

Enjoyed watching; wonderful video. was this the year the Nicklaus' lost a close friend, in a plane crash, prior to the tournament, and questions were whether he'd play that week?

[@kevincampbell1086]

0:50. That's Sam

[@timdailey2690]

Is that your Dad posing with Jack and Julius Boros? Fantastic rare footage!!

[@Raphael3079]

Yes, that is my Dad. Thank You. Mark

[@johnhyde7297]

There was a Professional in the video that many believe would have given Nicklaus a run for His money as the best ever if He hadn't been killed in a plance crash. From California... Tony Lema.

[@JohnKochis-rk8uj]

Nobody has arnolds record at a major top three eight years in a row including four wins

[@williamcarlucci4686]

Was your father the same Ralph DeVito that played at Hubbard Heights in Stamford? Was that Tony Mammone in the video?

[@Raphael3079]

HI Bill, Yes my dad use to play at Hubbard Heights. I afraid I don't know who Tony Mammone is?

[@timothycrombie3730]

I'm pretty sure it was Tony M. He was a fixture over there at Hubbard Heights back in the '60s when I played there

[@timothycrombie3730]

@@Raphael3079 Mark: I remember playing with a Ralph DeVito a few times over at Hubbard Heights in the '60s. I believe he was your father.

[@ltjjenkins]

Augusta interested in these?

[@Dentistmentalust]

I bet Jack Nicklaus has looked at this

[@Raphael3079]

I never thought about that and that is a great thought too. Thanks for looking at it and your comment. Mark

[@Vintagegolfwear]

Can I share some of this on my instagram page?

[@Raphael3079]

Hello, Yes you can share on your Instagram page. Thank you for asking & Happy New Year.

Back before the democratic party had control of the narrative

[@Russ4704]

Such a dumb comment, we are watching golf man, not politics. LBJ was president in 1966, a dem.
