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.....

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
