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.....

    • Played Sunday and implemented the Mayo spinner. Hit my second shot long and left on three to a bare lie. I have seen this shot to a tucked pin but I don’t swing across it enough and hit it too far with a ton of spin but it rolled into the bunker. I pulled my approach short and left on ten to a horrible lie with about 3’ of rise to a tucked pin maybe 5’ on the green. Ball is in a damp lie with debris behind and in front of the ball. Hit it to 3.5’ but horseshoed the putt around the right edge, which was a common miss. I hooked my tee shot into an unplayable lie in the hazard on the left side of the par 5 16th. Hit a great recovery that rolled to about 45 yards short of the back right pin. Hit the spinner over a bumpy green that rolled just over the ridge to 3’. Sank the straight 2.5’ putt. Felt like I had good control of these shots!
