Pete PopovichHOST
And because, um, When you were younger and you were playing, that was still very popular in the stroke.
Pete PopovichHOST
But let's say through the 70s, as Bill, as you mentioned, with the Johnny Millers, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino era, there was a lot of club head passing past the hands, either at impact or shortly after.
Pete PopovichHOST
So, I mean, obviously they're different.
Pete PopovichHOST
You just see, you know, the handle leads in the piston stroke.
speaker_0HOST
And, you know, that's why Crenshaw had so much success.
speaker_0HOST
And Lee Trevino had a lot of success with the 8802 style putter.
speaker_0HOST
I mean, he won, it was either the U.S. Open at...
speaker_0HOST
At Oak Hill in upstate New York that he found in some lady's attic that she let him use.
Chuck GarbedianHOST
But it was interesting when we were up at the AmFam Championship when it was over at U Ridge, which it's going back to now, which is kind of interesting because everything old is new again.
Chuck GarbedianHOST
Um, Lee Trevino was one of the guys that were up there to play in a, like a charity kind of a thing that they do there where they, they put like Derek Jeter and Andy North and like Lee Trevino and somebody, you know, Mark Tausch or somebody who has like association with both AmFam and with Wisconsin in terms of sports.
Chuck GarbedianHOST
And Trevino is telling stories about the fact, you know, he played with Sam Snead and you're going like, you don't have that connection anymore.
Chuck GarbedianHOST
Like he would talk with Gene Saracen.
Jim HopkinsGUEST
They had about eight pictures in them.
Jim HopkinsGUEST
It was great golfers like Fred Couples and Lee Trevino, and obviously Tom and Ben Kite.
Jim HopkinsGUEST
And it was about nine sequences of their, of their swings.
Jim HopkinsGUEST
So there was a top of the swing on all.
Howard GlassmanHOST
Even in Mi- even in the time of Nicklaus and his domination, there were others that dominated as well.
Howard GlassmanHOST
Tom Watson, Lee Trevino, uh, you know, they had big careers.
Howard GlassmanHOST
And we're seeing, even though Nicklaus was the, the biggest, he didn't dominate because of the nature of media as it, as it evolved.
Howard GlassmanHOST
But I, I, again, part of the reason I think Phil went nuts [laughs] is because, you know, it...
Peter MeltonGUEST
I think, I think that's the under undergirding is that telling a story or, or even like when we're playing in the yard with the kids, I would be announcing it right.
Peter MeltonGUEST
Or I'm, putting on my front lawn and saying, okay, it's Arnold Palmer against Jack Nicholas against Lee Trevino, right? And I'm putting three different balls and having this whole thing go on.
Peter MeltonGUEST
And I do it with my friends around.
Peter MeltonGUEST
So it was always storytelling and to some degree, probably some attention craving, right? And to be heard and to tell a story, to help people have a good time.
