Warming Up with Lee Trevino

By



Lee Trevino. 85 years young. Hitting balls. Talking golf. Warming up. Unfiltered. Dig in!

The six-time major champ joins GOLF’s Dylan Dethier on the range in Punta Mita, Mexico and reminds us why he’s one of the game’s greatest players AND greatest talkers, too. Trevino shows off hooks and fades. He shows a wind-beater and a high, soft one. He explains how to hit a shot that’ll “make the bugs put their helmets on” and why another shot makes him “bring four pairs of underwear”. And he also dives into his unlikely entry to golf, what the game has meant to him and what it still means now.

It’s Warming Up with Lee Trevino. We hope you like it.

    If you listen, then give it some thought he explained the entire golf swing. Get closer (croup it) you become more upright and cut or fade it. The reverse is also true. Rotation will square up and close the face of the club. The entire golf swing explained in a “short game clinic”. I have been chasing this 67 years and saw it simply put at age 77 by someone 85 years old.

    Lee has so many comments in his bag it's insane. What a personality. One of a kind. Even guys like tiger get silent and listen around him.

    I was at a pretty big outing this summer and Mr Trevino was the host. He gave a 30 minute "lesson" on the range and then when we got to the par 3 that he was at he gave another. He was magical, had an aura, had so many guys eating out of the palm of his hands.

    I love his honesty, very refreshing. Loved Lee when I was a kid, he was my golf swing hero. I still take it back on the outside a drop it on the inside. Still no golf injuries. Lee is a genius. I hope I'm that active at 85 years old.

    Lee's a National Treasure. My older son and I followed him for 9 holes at a Sr. event in the mid 90's in Long Island. He's a magician how he worked the ball around that course. at the chipping area before he teed off, 20-30 people standing around, i asked him if he was using a 60 deg lob wedge, he turned to me and said " i don't carry one of those i just open up my 56 like this !" got a few laughs out of the crowd.

    So interesting that he 7:59 says he is a loner. What a complicated man…. I don’t believe him. I do think that all of us treasure our time alone. No doubt life has stolen that from him. However, one can’t be that generous in spirit without loving people

    Every tournament Ben Hogan played, he said he played 36 holes per day. He played one round on the practice tee and one round on the course. Exactly what Lee was talking about. Very shot must have a purpose.

    Lee Trevino is a National Treasure! Thank you for making this video. Very much enjoyed watching Lee make everything look so easy. “I can hardly wait to get up in the morning to hear what I’m going to say!” Fantastic!

    I took up golf in my thirties, took some lessons, changed equipment, read Hogan's book, read Golf Digest etc. I was shooting about 120 on a good day. I was at a golf store in Los Angeles, and they had a Lee Travino VHS tape—I forget the title—. When I got back home, I put it in our VHS player and watched it. He took the mystery out of every shot and even went over putting. My score immediately dropped to the eighties.
    Family and career took over my golf got cut short and I found myself, over the next 30 years, playing golf once a year or so at the company's annual golf tournament. Occasionally taking a client out on a golf outing. My wife always warned me to let them win. Now I am retired and still playing, more importantly still practicing. Doing the drills I learned from Mr. Travino. I lost the VHS tape from moving over the years but the fundamentals are still there, and this video is a reminder of his excellent approach to teaching. Glad to see he is sill going strong.

    People like myself tend to over complicate the swing and end of over rotating the club to hit inconsistent shots. Best iron shots I’ve hit involved little to no rotation after impact. Amazing how Trevino can give simple analogies like that bug scenario to get people to make/ feel/ execute that when hitting a shot.

  28. @craigshewchuk9018

    The thing when he is chipping and wants a soft stop high flight but smooth chip where he say to do the cowboy and ride the horse put your feet out and bend a little really works. He has some great video lessons that just tell you how golf works and interactions of the club and ball

    One day, a multitude of people will say that Lee Trevino out of El Paso, TX is, was, and will always be a genius. In three years of golfing, he won the open, there is not another golfer who can say that. May the Good Lord bless him always. As a Mexican American golfer and lawyer, he is an inspiration to me and to this nation. Where’s his monument in DC.

    Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player said Lee Trevino (during his playing days on tour) was the best ball striker they had ever seen.
