Wow.  Thanks.  I thought you were pulling my leg with 'Chico's Tomahawk'.  lol.   But I found pics on the net.  I honestly don't remember that putter.

 

 

Saw 1 or 2 as a kid caddy, sat nicely at address.

USGA has the films…this is an awesome one and could be converted to digital and uprated to HD spec

They have troves of these…

 

 

[mocokid]

The entire 4th round is excellent, need the entire supporting cast.

[iBanesto]

I love the Nicklaus v Trevino rivalry.

 

• Middle class v Working class
• White American v Mexican American
• College golfer v Caddy golfer
• Power game with high flighted shots v Finesse game with low flighted shots
• Methodical player v Feel player
• Slow player v Fast player

Who was slow? Both were pretty much before my time. 

[mat562]

Jack was... methodical.

 

Compared to a few modern players though, he was like Lanny Wadkins on a promise.

Roberto De Vicenzo, after being asked about his dinner: "It was like Jack Nicklaus: very good, and very slow."

Yah, Pete, and especially Sam, loved his swing. Sam called him "the Machine."

 

Stay Well My Friend🍻

How slow was Jack?

 

When he got into that familiar crouch over a putt, we all knew we had time to go make a sandwich or put a second coat of paint on the garage and still get back in time to watch him make it.

[Christosterone]

My brother is a member at ACC and sent me this of the best swing since Johnny Miller…

Slow indeed.

 

Although this was for a major championship on the 72nd hole at the 1977 Open.

Scheffler has a very cool swing…

super high hands on the load…with a tremendous shoulder turn 

I love his right foot and the cricketesque slide reminiscent of Greg Norman thru impact.

 

he is the best player on the entire planet…that’s a tremendous accomplishment

as an aside, I think back to moves of the past like Kenny perry whose right foot would stay planted thru impact while Scottie is already on his toes…

 

plenty of ways to skin a cat…congrats to a wonderful person with a badass move behind and thru the ball…

 

 

[mat562]

John Huston was another man with a static right foot through impact.

 

[Christosterone]

50 years ago, Jack held off weiskopf to finish under par on a very burned out Augusta…

 

Of note(to me): jacks shoulder turn, Gary players lag, and Tom kites reverse c was bananas…

Prime Nicklaus - 1972 Masters.

 

Looks like he didn't wear his Rolex.

Whenever his name comes up I immediately think about him being called out for wearing illegal golf shoes.

Wait... Weight-Rite, right?

If anyone was wondering why Paul replaced David on LIVE AT THE MASTERS, you can clearly see why. 

 

 

Duval doesn't like to work.   

Even Frank is busy.

lol....  How the heck does anyone find a photo like this?   

 

Search words.  (1 time major winner,  suits, tie, scribbling,,  greenery in the background coupled with arena seating... Alfred E. Neuman grin).   Wtf..

Duval looks antsy and uncomfortable.  He hasn't had a dip in 45 minutes and he's about to crack.

Very cool.   Titleist 962b irons.

Clearly, approachable at the pizza shop.  

 

 

 

Looks like sweet and spicy, the pizza.

Duvalls swing was super interesting..

He had an immediate wrist hinge with a club path out and picked immediately up….

Duvals left & right hand grip was strong and his wrist was [surprisingly] in the same set/lagged position on the backswing as the downswing(see 3rd and 5th picture)…

his head had a huge swing and followed the club down and thru impact like Annika or Stenson

he had a VERY unique move….very cool too

I remain mystified the USGA won’t allow anyone to remaster their old film reels…

They have high-quality images ready for digitization…

 

The BBC has been very generous and letting people update their old broadcasts…

I can watch Don Mclean sing in 1972 in hi DEF on the BBC… But I can’t watch Miller battle Weiskoff and others in the 73 open…

It makes no sense

 

I really wish the USGA would make available their entire library…

id happily pay for it…

 

Here’s an example of a remastered reel form the same time period…sound and video are amazing for a performance from half a century ago

 

 

Thanks! My favorite of his!

 

Years ago we took our girls to the Iowa State Fair because the American Idol finalists were performing and maybe Jennifer Hudson was part of it, but anyway, they wanted to see the concert so we took them.  While walking the grounds I heard music and went to the small stage out on the grounds and there was Don McLean putting on a mini-concert.  It was fun to watch!
