This Lesson Easily Costs $500 wow

[@lornegorman2756]

I could listen to him talk golf all day. He explains things so well.

[@Lowspirit_aaron]

Lee Trevino is an excellent teacher. Instead of saying “do it like this” it’s “do what works for you” and more people need to know that

[@barking_mad6649]

Problem is most people can't find what queue for them.

[@jimlahey3919]

He’s teaching people who don’t know what works for them. Telling them “do what works for you” is the opposite of teaching.

[@MentalityGolf]

Yup! That’s what I love about him is that he teaches people how to fish instead of giving them the fish 🎣

[@bwnco]

look at Chi Chi rodriquez swing sometime.... LOL an he kicked butt!

[@k.i.s.s..]

No, most people are terrible and need some help. Doing what "works" for them doesn't freekn work 😅

[@wiremu9876]

Thanx a heap for sharing Lee Triveno's analogy of creating consistant club to ball impact. The tree example was a lightbulb moment for me. I now realise why my inconsistant ball flight had everything to do with ball position at address, striking the ball at 7 o'clock and rotate the hands, creates a draw or not rotating to create a cut which made so much sense. I have struggled for 36 yrs with hitting the ball flush. I'm now 61 going on to 62 in 4 months time. About 3 months ago I finally understood why my ball striking was so inconsistant. Now with that came my other issue. Draws and fades. Which were slices, hooks, blocks, pulls, shanks and thin shots and they were not so much my swing path as well but my hands not rotating or rotating to much, holding off, etc. I've been on a crusade ever since I watched Lees awesome golf tip lesson. So again thanx for sharing. It's made an old lover of the game, finally enjoying the confidence in myself again. Cheers.

What a nice man. He wants you to be successful

Put some respek on Lee’s name hahaha

[@nedmorales1313]

Lee Trevino is a national treasure. We should enjoy him while he still is around. It would be great if somebody would put out more videos of him talking about the golf swing, he has many stories throughout his career, or just shooting the breeze.

[@MentalityGolf]

Completely agree! It would be a dream to do a video with him. Maybe I’ll start a podcast and invite him on to talk about the mental game 🤔

[@nedmorales1313]

That would be awesome!

I love this old school lesson! I have always admired Lee Trevino since childhood.

[@michaelray223]

The best of the best. Mr. Trevino I met you at Pebble Beach during the " Clam bake" 1972 I think... Best advice you gave this snotty nosed kid..... " Just have fun playing". At 67, I'm doing just that. Love you Sir!....... Michael

[@derrickrr5516]

Dude won SIX majors!!!!!! Legend indeed.

[@barrybartos7687]

Great point but realize that he won them competing against Jack Nicklaus!

[@jwalkerC21]

Lee Trevino was one of my heroes, growing up and watching golf on TV with my Dad. Still is.

[@MarkSmith-js2pu]

It’s been too long since I’ve seen and heard Lee. He helped so many appreciate the game.

[@db9885]

This lesson has improved my swing tremendously. I’d argue that it is the most effective short lesson/clip that I’ve found on KZbin. It’s fascinating how quickly these couple of adjustments have impacted my ball striking.

[@donaldschmidt2990]

Lee Buck Trevino has the greatest insight into the golf swing since Ben Hogan. There is no golf instructor that understands basic cause and effect like Trevino. Rather than change the swing, he logically suggests the player change the ball position to improve contact and ball flight. Experiment for that perfect ball position that combines ideal contact and target line for your swing. Lee Trevino is the preeminent genius in simplistic golf instruction.

[@es2056]

Love this man. I've been watching him since 1968 when he won his first U.S. Open.

[@redeagle9312]

Everything he said makes a perfect sense. Everybody has different swing, but they mastered at it.

[@jeffanschutz9550]

Lee Trevino used to attend a charity golf tournament in Ft. Smith, AR every year. (I believe that tournament has stopped) The public was allowed to walk around and Lee would tell us all kinds of golf tips. Chi Chi Rodriguez was there with him a few times. Awesome! in the 80s

[@davidcammilleri5526]

My Fave player ever. People talking in the background need to shut up. Lee is talking. So rude.

[@MentalityGolf]

Ahahhaa Lee is dropping gold nuggets left and right good thing we got it on video 😉

[@csnide6702]

This guy was a legend of the game ... ! My favorite quote was after a playoff in a Major he was asked if he was nervous at any time . He said " I used to bet 100 Dollars on Golf matches when I only had 20 on me - THAT is pressure - not playing for a big payday". I would have to agree

[@stevenwhiting8941]

This is great information. I had to listen to this tape a few times at different segments to really understand the arms attached to the trunk of the tree and the ball will tell you what it's doing based on your swing. Many times, I have thought the ball is going to the right, but never really realized the hands and body will square up to make it draw or go straight. Also moving the ball back will help for a solid strike as long as the hands and body square up.

[@jerryturner2310]

I will be trying his wisdom on, "If you're not hitting it solid, keep moving the ball back." I hit more "fat" shots than "thin" shots. But I'm stubborn and think I'll get it right next time. This is probably what I've needed to do all along. Move it back. Like he said, everybody swings the club a little different. Just because a pro hits it great from just inside his instep, doesn't mean I can.

[@MentalityGolf]

Exactly you will be able to once you understand how to hit the ball but until then it’s easier to do it with the ball back

[@OfCourseICan]

Absolute Gold : this info is irrefutable. Thank You. Grateful Aussie.

[@kevinfotsch6421]

Spoken by a true master of the game anytime you hear a person who can get in Jack Nicholas’s head you need to listen to him. The man is a genius.

[@jaybee7890]

The thing I like about Lee's teaching method is that it never changes. Basically no matter what you are doing, "chances are it's too far forward." 😀

[@andyetheridge]

i was reading your comment at exactly the same time Lee said “chances are it’s too far forward, almost word for word so to speak!

[@MentalityGolf]

Right? The fix is usually a simple one

[@leocapoccia9073]

I love Trevino, he learned how to play on his own and beat every player of his era at one time or another! These videos are solid gold for us high handicappers trying to get better one ball at a time!! Solid member of the KZbin golf academy!!!!❤

[@MG575AF]

Im having this issue right now, glad it popped up on my feed! Thanks Lee!!

[@AZ_Backyard_Gardening]

Lee's advice about hitting consistently before we try to figure out aiming, brilliant! I love this comments on ball position and where the ball ends up. That's a big part of my struggle right now and this is super helpful Lee. Thanks!

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Every tip by Lee Trevino is that of a master.

[@mdx9286]

Mr. T. is an absolute master of golf. The one lesson he gave regarding the philosophy of golf changed my game forever: 'Hit the ball, find it, and hit it again.' I no longer try to look up to locate the ball during the downswing. I began hitting more fairways, hitting the ball more pure, more distance, and better accuracy. As Mr. T. explains, it's the inches between your ears that's keeping you from shooting lower scores.

[@aaronbrowning5224]

Thanks SuperMex Lee Trevino…A National Treasure…big smile!

Lee wasn't a golfer he was an artist. Pure legend.

[@aja3longhorn375]

I’m just gonna say that there are a lot of well respected pros who would disagree with almost everything said here. Most teachers don’t recommend just moving the ball back for better contact

[@johncallicutt5994]

How many of those guys won 6 majors? I'll listen to Trevino

[@craigsisler]

What an awesome video. As a player, the guy is an icon, but one an amazing teacher, too! This one video has already helped me turn a corner with my game.

[@marktretter4928]

He got struck by lightning, and survived. Why he never used a 1-iron, his answer…..even God can’t hit a 1 iron! Or, he also said two things that don’t last….dogs chasing cars and pros putting for pars!😃😃😃Ive known Lee for over 45 years . He was a friend of the owner of a driving range I worked at . What a national treasure he is. So much better than these robots playing today!

[@keis33]

Golf wisdom for a lifetime.

[@blakenorman4822]

When my swing goes haywire, i aim 20 yards right, strong left hand grip, feel like im getting my back facing the target on the backswing and crush my irons, i can hit my 9 iron 180, pure flush on target no problem, can play 10 over easy most any day, never have any idea on where my driver clubhead is on any given day, always a crapshoot

[@mr.flintstone694]

I remember hearing Jack say that when Lee first arrived on tour that he could tell by the SOUND of Lee's shots on the range that he hit EVERY shot solid

[@stuartkennedy4570]

My all time hero. I was fortunate to meet him in 1975

[@MentalityGolf]

Incredible! What did you guys talk about?

[@bvokey8842]

Golf is a precise game. Do one thing slightly wrong and you likely will get punished for it. I take notes on width of stance, distance from ball, and ball position for each club. This really helps me set up properly for each club. If I’m not hitting it solid, it’s usually due to a minor misstep in my setup. Crazy game.

[@MentalityGolf]

You’re completely right! Setup is the most importantly fundamental. You sound like you love the game how long have you been playing?

[@hiddenbunny7205]

This is a best comment. Most of the people don't even have an idea where is their ball is in their stance, when they move the ball "forward or back", they often ended up moving the stance with it

[@burnedoutgolfer]

[@modellawns2603]

I have the name Trevino and get asked if we are related all the time as a joke but I truly looked up too and still do to this man. A small part of me always hoped we actually were more than the same last name.

[@Golfsmithin]

I decided to play the ball more forward in my swing today and played great but I did need to play a club stronger. Also hit a nice cut.

[@MentalityGolf]

Nice yeah this is usually only if you’re hitting the ball fat if you hitting the ball fin, you can put it up in your stance and you can go after it more

[@WhittierStables]

What I like most about this video is that Lee Trevino plainly states that everyone swings dofferently. This is very important. Ben Hogan did not swing the same as Jack Nicklaus, who did not swing the same as Arnold Palmer. The King of Golf. Arnold Palmer said, "Swing your swing, I know, did!"

[@ishdenzel]

Thats the best gold advice that I've ever gotten.

[@johnathanwetherill456]

The more golf lessons I had the worse of a golfer I became . Instead of learning to play with my flaws I tried to fix them and ended up with a swing that never felt like mine . Now I can't go back to me . I forgot it . What he says is so true . Do You and learn to aim with it .

[@MentalityGolf]

Gold right?!

[@BENJAMINTARVER-k7e]

amazing. never seen this before. another thing i’ll always remember reading somewhere is that pros are wayyyy better than us is simply the number of golf balls they hit versus us. they are pounding out tens of thousands of balls and we hit 40 balls on the range and expect to be good

[@TeddyCavachon]

I worked as a starter as course for several years and the biggest conceptual mistake I’d seen noobs make was trying to get a squared to target face hitting the ball a 6 o’clock + dead center be cause it seems logical. Showing them the Hogan waggle and how the release of lag brings club in from inside to 7 as Lee suggests is something I show them to fix it

[@RequiumFrost]

Well spoken, passionate.. Lee T

[@markymark627]

great video from a legend , i bet a few modern pros are not happy as they may be losing money from potential clients who will watch and try this rather than go and pay them for a lesson to change their swing, i will stick with lee, he knows best .

I rate him highly

[@martinscalf114]

Lee Trevino was one of the few players that could go toe to toe against Jack Nicklaus and not wet his self. He was one of the greatest competitors of all-time in any sport.

[@petergregory7199]

Is this what U call the Lee way? Giving yourself the space and the time to be yourself in the golf swing.

[@Zerpersande]

Used to watch Lee at the GGO. He had a huge gallery following him around. Lee’s Fleas.

[@cndvd]

Now if only Moe Norman was alive and both Trevino and him giving advice. Similar style of teaching, but different advice. Like it’s “so simple but mysterious.”

[@At_the_races]

Nicklaus said that Trevino was the best striker of the ball he’d ever seen.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Swing your own swing. Just work on the path, play with ball position, play with open/closed position, and work on keeping that low point past the ball for irons; try and hit ascending with driver. Play smart😊

[@SamRose-ds1ff]

Nobody ever gave Lee credit for understanding the golf swing as well as he did! Yes he knew how to repeat his swing, but he could look at any swing and tell exactly why the y were hitting it where!

[@NoiNight]

[@bencovington1121]

When he played all the players had a signature swing. They all looked different. Today most, not all, but most, have a cookie cutter swing. With today’s technology we know what the perfect swing should look like and most players want to emulate that. But the Trevino, Palmer, Nicklaus era was the most fun to watch and the average player is best served doing it the old fashioned way like Buck said.

I think it is hard to articulate to an amateur what you have done on your own through talent and millions of swings and thousands and thousands of hours physically and mentally.
