After about the fourth day of watching every ball Mr. Trevino struck both on the range and the course, his caddy, Herman grew tired of me and really blasted me. I never uttered a word the entire time. It was kinda of funny, Herman pulled the wrong club on a par three, Lee hit it pure--but long. Lee really let Herman have it, and Herman then gave it to me. He questioned my man-hood, which considering my fixation with his boss was completely understandable. The next day it made the Philadelphia Inquirer, something to the effect that Lee blasted Herman. Bell Atlantic Classic--Senior Tour, Chester Valley CC, around 1993 or so.

Anyway around to his move. He sort of traps his irons and they do sound resonant. His downward stike is unmistakeable. Hitter, swinger, switter, it's hard to say --he's got a alot of elements working. One thing for certain he uses a very heavy wet mop!

Hitter elements:
1- PP#3 on meat of index finger
2- Carry-back on his figure 8 backswing
3- Stable right shoulder @ startdown

Swinger elements:
1- Very soft passive hands
2- Float loading
3- Lots of CF is let go causing some serious throwout to low point.
4- Lots of pivot--though it's delayed.
