		<description>I had the privilige to watch Trevino in the mid 90&#039;s in Seattle, WA in a Senior Tour event. 

Final day of the event I watched him hit a drive that hooked into some trees on the left of the par-5 18th hole. He was obviously not striking it well and actually looked more like a mid-handicapper when he hit his drive. I was wondering - so this is Lee Trevino? His second shot, he was in the jail so he he used his driver and hit a low scooter to about 50 yards short off the green. His 3rd shot was a low pitch to about 5-6 feet from the pin and down went the putt for a birdie 4. He left the course without talking to anyone. He almost drove off with the courtesy car without waiting for his caddy Herman who was trying to buy some sandwiches from the food stand. Herman had no time and asked for his money back from the vendor because Trevino was driving away. I heard him say, &quot;give my money back, my man is leaving...&quot;. Herman barely made it to the car. I guess true competitors are not nice to be around when things are not going well. 

Trevino&#039;s display of those 4 shots - he made it look very routine. He was not in contention and he was not striking the ball well but getting into trouble was not a problem. Despite of the odds, he knew how to take best advantage of the situation. 

In a virtual match play against Tiger I would put my money on Trevino because I think Lee could play through the intimidation and fear factor and surprise the wits out of any opponent pulling off the improbable shot and those clutch puts that can turn the momentum of a match - everyone who has followed his career probably knows what I am talking about :twisted:</description>

		<description>Trevino&#039;s book:  &quot;Groove your swing my way&quot; Atheneum 1976, needs to be reprinted, with modern animation,  on a DVD.

Golfers, young and old, need to know that there is more than one way to hit a golf ball and score.

Golf instruction is mostly miserable, sort of like sitting in church and having to listen to the sermons.

No wonder that 90% of those who try to play a game of golf can&#039;t break 90.  And of those that can, they can for a while, but they can not keep it up.</description>

		<description>He was something and still is! A great ambassador for golf!

I would give up a hole in one for one of his golf caps!

The Mexican hat with clubs going through it!</description>

		<description>If for some reason there was a golf contest and you had to pick any player to beat Tiger or else you lose your house in a big bet . . . Trevino would be my choice.  There is no doubt that he could beat Tiger, and there is no way that he would ever fold, Tiger would know what a battle is really like.

Lee was even more competitive than Tiger.  Before the injury he was unstoppable under most conditions.  The  &#039;Merry Mex&#039; persona on the course really hid a person driven to win as if his life depended on it.  I always was uncomfortable watching him play because I felt that he took it too seriously and was not above engaging in gamesmenship to some extent.  Whatever it took to win.  It was like a steet fight with Lee, he was very grim underneath the laughter.  Guess he didn&#039;t want to be a gravedigger.  I always hoped he would lighten up but he never really did, he was the ultimate hustler.</description>

		<description>I agree with shortgame85. I still wince when I watch Jack posing on the bridge at St. Andrews. Only Mickelson&#039;s &quot;hug and talk to my children&quot; act is more rehearsed.</description>

		<description>Lee Trevino&#039;s &quot;slipping away,&quot; may not have been as memorable as Arnie&#039;s and Jack&#039;s farwell ( and I don&#039;t wish to take anything away from Palmer&#039;s and Nicklaus&#039; departure ), but I do think Trevino&#039;s had a bit more class if for no other reason than its modesty.   Athletes and entertainers could learn a valuable lesson from Trevino&#039;s example.</description>

		<description>Trevino will be remembered as one of the all time greats like Old Tom Morris, Sarazen, Snead, Hogan, Nelson, Palmer, Nicklaus, Watson. You can&#039;t mention these names without including Lee Trevino. I just wish we&#039;d had a big going away party like we did for Palmer and Nicklaus. He just sort of slipped away.
Thanks Lee for all the memories!</description>
