Moe Norman was a legend, and played golf because he loved the game, the PGA
simply did not love him back!! Lee Trevino is another legend, he played
golf his way and made it work! Many pro careers have been ruined by people
looking for the perfect swing
Learning golf the way Lee did ( no lessons) you learn to do things with the
club these so called experts would never teach. Golf instructors would
probably try to change the way Lee swung the club to make his swing more
conventional. Lee’s genius is in his growing up “dirt” poor. When you grow
up poor and you want something bad enough you invent new ways to get it
done to compensate for the lack of resources most others would have
learning to play the game of golf.
I will try to be discreet as much as possible.Having seen Moe several times
at the driving range in Titusville, Fl, Moe has a serious personality
disorder. I am no doctor. I don’t know if he’s autistic or not but Moe is
socially retarded. He simply can’t function around people. That’s why his
impact on golf was limited.
Gotta love Lee T. What lee just demo’d is a pro chip technique. As he
stated an am would swing with the hands and the club would come all the way
around. What Lee did was load the club with the hands in a hold position
that delivered a solid shot to the ball. There is no club digging in and
the ball is popped off the club face with ease.
Lee could have been one of the greatest golf teachers in the world if he
had chosen that path. He probably understands and can teach more about the
game than just about anyone still around. His genius with the short game
makes Dave Pelz and David Ledbetter look like novices.
I agree…as well as “any man alive” because Hogan’s been dead 15 years and
you could bet Trevino wouldn’t argue. Lee called him MISTER Hogan. But
having said that it would be even money who had the edge knowledge wise
because they were both great ball strikers – for my money the 2 best who
ever lived – I don’t count Moe Norman – the last time I checked, driving
range golf doesn’t mean a whole lot.
“So he QUIT…” I guess that explains why he could only win in Canada. Why
don’t all aspiring golfers travel to Canada? Does it have anything to do
with the caliber of competition being considered somewhat less than the
U.S. tour. There was a high school pitcher in Texas a while back that could
hit 100 mph on the radar gun and he never made it to the major leagues
because he couldn’t compete on the big stage. Was he a “great pitcher?” You
and I have different answers I’m sure.

Well said ! Self-discovery is the gateway to greatness…

in order to understand, one must listen and have very good control and
balance. Lee, my pro always
Good point Buddy..he can also “walk the walk”
