kev it was the putting and the family - he didn't really push his talent to the top - but those years in the mid 70's he had were unreal - that 63 at Oakmont could be the best round ever played in an open - if he had Nicklaus putt for him who know how many he would have won , but , putting is a big part of the game
As for Lee trevino - he was quoted as saying if Jack Nickluas had to play my tee shots he would still be a pharmicst back in ohio!!! man - i got to see him play in some senior events up at sleepl hollow and meadowbrook up here kev - he would talk to wedge and tell it what exactly to do

I agree with you about Lee....the guy was unreal...especially with the way that he would reroute his swing. He is surely top 5 ballstrikers of all time....and he could putt lights out.


Johnny....blah....they dont have tournaments where only the shots from tee to green count. He was hot for a few years in the mid 70's...but I can think of plenty of better ballstrikers before and after him.

You've heard the story, I'm sure, about Hogan... He asked his caddy for yardage, the caddy said about 125, 126.. Hogan sternly replied, "Well, Which is it!! Precision!!
Johnny Miller will tell you that Johnny Miller was the greatest ball striker, albeit for a short period of time.

Where would you put Bobby Jones on the list of all-time golfers. He's the guy I feel I "Know", based on those fantastic "The Way I Play Golf" films that the golf channel has shown. I marvel at the way he played, with the equipment he used.

I played in a sandbaggers (2-man scramble) tournament one time where I was paired up with a guy who had the second worst score of the opening round. He asked what was the distance from the green. I answered "145, 148." He replied "Well which it?" To my reply, "You shot what in the opening round? and your questioning me, like it matters?"

I would hope he was joking, doing a take-off on the Hogan story, which has been around for a while. If he was serious, then this guy illustrates why it takes so long to play a round of golf these days.

Guy shoots 120-something in the first round and I'm sitting with my 9-iron in hand in 50 degree weather and seriously says which is it?

Well, then you were definitely paired up with what we call in the industry, a "JERK"!!
