The Sad Truth Of Lee Trevino | A Short Golf Documentary 

It's not the arrow. It's the Indian.....

The best fade in golf history IMHO. Lee Trevino was clearly the victim of severe prejudice.

This is utter nonsense. Lee was never a victim. Good grief....Just guessing, but please Come to TX and find out.

​@@user-sw2ob4iw1mif he would have stayed in Mexico he would be poor and you wouldn't know who he was 😂

Stupid remark! He was born in Texas. That's just prejudice talking! Which we all know he faced!

Thanks for the info 👌🏻

Carson was a member at Riveria correct, driving a white Corvette, also I think Ronnie Reagan was a member too, I forgot about Carson's Golf swing after his tonight show monologue

I heard the story of gamblers down in Florida putting $50 G's on their Sharpshooter Ray Floyd and da gambler boys out west putting $50 G's on the super mex Trevino in a 18 hole winner take all match, and the winners were going to share the money, that was in early 70's, never found out if it really happened or who won.

Billy Casper was banned from the Skins Game because he kept asking his partners to split their winning Skin with him if he would miss his putt to tie them. He was serious.

Sad ending???? Dont talk rot !!!😢😢😢😢

Are you aware of how he used to treat his fans in his prime and on the Senior Tour? Pretty sad is all I can say here. National treasure? Hardly.

He's still a great man!

How can you not love that guy. Ridiculous skills and a great personality. The Merry Mex is one of my favorites as well.

He said he was in the Marines then said he was discharged by the Army. Honest mistake.

Great memory! I remember being a little kid at the tournament and knocking over a barrel of empty cans when Fuzzy Zoeller was about to hit his tee shot. Another time, Mike Reid came over to me and said hi and gave me a ball. Pleasant Valley always was a great time. It’s a real shame we don’t have an annual tournament in Massachusetts these days.

Some just look at the negative .. try the positive .. I'm an American of Itsluan decent & we were also demonized, some were Blacks, Jews and plenty of others .. we can live together easily if we just realize who tries to prevent that and ignore them instead of giving them publicity!

​@@AnthonyRende-mo9ymYou're not American

Thank you 😊

That'd be Scottie Scheffler

Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson say hello.

@@phukyew14 still early but you may be right. He's got that Wisconsin swing. Compare his to Steve Strickers.

@@mikex3909 good one.

That would be Johnny Miller, could hit every shot, he came up with the 9 shot idea

Appreciate that 👌🏻

I love the quote he once said that Gary Player taught to him practice bunker shots standing on one leg😂

That’s true with many big-time celebrities. I’ve been to 100 tour events, you’d be surprised who’s not so nice when the cameras aren’t on. Most of them!

Not Arnold Palmer.. 1965 Palm Springs early morning practice just Arnie and me and my Dad when I was 16..Watching him with no crowd around up close hit drives to same spot out there and good chipping too then he said, I can't hit a wedge to save my ass..We laughed.. Then later in his life I followed him in Los Angeles for a round and then sat on the parking lot curb waiting to see if he would walk that way after the round..He walks by alone with a beverage in one hand taking a sip and sees me looking up at him..He winks and gives me a pinky salute with hand holding the cup..Good man indeed..

He was an excellent color man for nbc.but packed it in after only a short stay?

sad was referring to the start of his life, maybe could be put better, any ideas?

Or Against All Odds

I think it's called click bait to lure you in to watch the video. Video was informative but a poor title.

It as great as Jack 18 majors to 6 for Trevino! Granted, He was first, Jack second in 2 US Opens, 1968 & 1971. Also first, Jack second in 1972 British Open at Muirfied. Trevino was first to Jack’s second at The PGA at Tanglewood in 1974. If not for Trevino Jack would have had 22 majors instead of 18.

I am with you about him. He was all about the money and to hell with his fans. I witnessed him refuse autographs and curse out a volunteer when his courtesy car was late to take him back to his hotel. Made him get a bus to take him back. But he won the senior event which is all he wanted. That check. I don’t think he ever made many close friends on either tour. He hid his insecurities by acting like a comedian in front of the camera. When that red light went off…so did he.

Lee tells it that he had a tiff with Cliff Roberts: “Me and Cliff Roberts didn’t get along,” Trevino said on this week’s episode of GOLF’s Subpar. “He and I didn’t see eye to eye on the ticket situation.” Trevino, who admits he is “short-fused,” told Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz that his talks with the famed Augusta National co-founder were not without conflict. “I went to his office and we had a lot of discussions back and forth,” Trevino said. “I just told him what they could do with it, and I left. I never went back for three years. And then Jack [Nicklaus] talked me into going back.” After his spat with the green jackets, Trevino twice led after 36 holes and tied for 10th on two occasions during his career (1975 and 1985), but his reputation at the famous club never quite recovered. “It was my fault,” Trevino said. “It was my fault; I never should’ve lost my cool. I don’t do it as much now. My wife, Claudia, has tamed me down a bit, but my problem was I was never a listener. When you’re talking as much as I do, you’re always talking; you never listen to what people are saying to you. I have a bad habit of that.”

🤣 my own but thanks haha

Interesting!!
