If anybody could help me find pictures or images of her swing I would very much appreciate it. I have tracked down everything on line and I am sorry to say it is not much. She has a book published in the 1950's I believe titled "Play Golf the Wright Way." This seems to be one of the more expensive books around if available at all. As a result I have not had much opportunity to study her swing. If anybody has this book, please contact me.
With Hogan saying it was the best swing he'd ever seen, I would certainly like to take a look for myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Andrew Rice

I believe that Jim McLean did an analysis of Mickey's swing on his show on The Golf Channel, and I have a tape of that show. I will look. Her record speaks for itself, and Hogan did say that. While Kathy Whitworth did pass Mickey in total wins--88 to 82, many observers still marvel at how solidly Mickey hit the golf ball. People forget that she earned her 82 victories and 13 Majors (second to Patty Berg's 15) even though she retired at the age of 34 because of problems with her feet.

Mickey did play two matches on the old "Shell's Wonderful World of Golf": in 1964 vs. Brigette Varangot and in 1967 vs. Marlene Streit at the Toronto Golf Club. You may be able to buy copies of those two episodes.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I will purchase the book, as I have never seen it for that price before.
I'll report back on what I find.....

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
