Ben Hogan had the most beautiful sweetest golf swing I’ve ever seen. My father & I went to watch the Masters every April. He passed in January & it only seems fitting that this year it’s in November & no patrons allowed. Thanks for sharing this video
Ben Hogan and Sam Snead had without question the two greatest swings of their era. Or probably any other. But, they weren't the only ones!! Look at the timeless motion of these great professionals. There appears to be as much conscious effort as a duck gliding on a pond!! As powerful as many of today's pros are, they could take a group of lessons from these sweet swinger's. The concept of "Gravity Golf" has never been so beautifully displayed. If you want to swing a club the way it was intended to be swung, watch this over and over again. We'll all get better by osmosis!!
thank you for this! I have included a copy of a post I made before sharing your video with my friends. ''Last year one of my idols passed away it was my grandpa, he was a farmer. I lost my younger brother this year as well just a few days after the one year anniversary of my grandpas death. Its sad but I will see them again, all is well. when you loose someone you care a lot about and they are a younger age then you it really puts things into perspective... Its cliche I know to say I miss the old days... but I do, I'll always be old school at heart. They were such good days. These days are great as well don't get me wrong I'm extremely grateful for everyday I'm allowed to live here with my family, but I really do miss the old days... This video I found on youtube is a little before my time, but its whats in my heart because that is what I was given from my Grandpa who I was a close with as could be... My grandpa gave me old school and It's a gift I'm thankful for everyday!:-) This is my new favourite video to watch it has been therapeutic for me and I would like to share it with whoever might find it as beautiful as I find it.''
Corry Webster Golf I’m glad you enjoyed the video I’m still amazed that I found it in my grandmothers house after she passed away and that it was still in good enough condition to be digitized. It was in the middle of a a lot of family videos and I must have jumped 10 feet into the air when I realized what I was watching. I had no idea what was on all those reel to reel tapes
I’d really love to know who the player is at 5:00 (only one swing shown). This is one of the prettiest swings I’ve ever seen, and to me it looks surprisingly modern. Thanks in advance. Great video.
incredible. Even TV coverage then wasn't colour. And slow motion too! Very good quality footage, must have been an expensive camera for 1950. A real piece of history.
Look how nice they dress, soft spoken and thoughtful. Some of these golfers were sleeping in there cars to make ends meet. What a life though, to be a professional golfer in the 50s. The all time greats.
We do indeed, everyone knows how hard it is to develop into a class ball striker and baller of the game. Kids these days have got no idea how tough it was with the equipment from back in the day
Great stuff! Amazing to see all the cars right next to what I'm assuming is the driving range area? Amazing how times of changed! Thanks for sharing this with all of us, your grandpa did awesome with the camera!!
This Masters occurred a couple of months prior to my birth. Colorful characters in the way the players dressed and swung. It is particularly gratifying to see some of these gents swinging during their prime as I had numerous opportunities to see some of these same individuals play in the latter part of their careers during the mid sixties - particularly Hogan and Snead. The cars and the people remind me of the cars and the people I’d see as a child during my family’s regular Sunday drives. Very nostalgic.
Not sure all the swings are from 1950. Gene Littler is swinging at the end and his first Masters was 1954. Also, it sure looks like Tommy Bolt in the red jacket starting around 5:05. His first Masters was 1952. In any case, wonderful film, and it will take me awhile to ID all of the players, which I'm looking forward to it. Definitely some great additions for my archive. Thank you for sharing!
It's a feat to have bent grass in Georgia. Nicklaus won 5 of his 6 on Bermuda grass greens. Watson might be the only player besides Nicklaus to win at least one Green Jacket on bermuda, and bent With victories in 77 and 81.
Wonderful just wonderful, love older footage and proper golf gentleman. Love the crowd all shirt, tie and collar and the women all smartly dressed. No get in the hole crap, and idiots behaving terribly. Brilliant
Fantastic, thanks for posting! A more innocent and "rougher around the edges" Masters, all the better for it IMHO. It would be great if someone could identify all the players, some are obvious but others are less well known.
What a grand era to be a part of. A time when America had class. If I could have picked a future at birth, it would have been this one. Certainly not the one I’m living in now (2021).
Mangrum first, then Bolt, Middlecoff(US Open 49), Johnny Revolta, the first guy in the plus 4s might be Bobby Locke, yellow sweater maybe Jackie Burke? I think Dow Fisterwald in there also.....clearly some amateurs Porky Oliver at 7:22 Boros at 8:08 Byron Nelson 8:40? Revolta 10:53 not certain, but good guesses.....
Absolutely amazing post. Thank you. No hiding place with those balls and clubs. Recognised a few of the players, but guess no Hogan because he was still recovering from his crash. Don't think I saw Snead, but mangrum, boros, burkemo I think.
Thanks David, you might imagine my shock when I was going through all the other videos and then this popped up out of no-where. I took out a segment at the end where my grandmother was putting on 18 green. I figured that would freak the Green Jackets at Augusta. They have the original film now.
Hogan was entered and was a pre-tourney favorite because of excellent practice rounds. He was two back at the start of the final round but sagged with a 76, settling for a T4th.
Most of the footage is from 1952, Bobby Locke played that year and it appears he’s on the footage. If that’s Littler at the end of the video, this is footage from a few different Masters
Why couldn’t today’s golf swings pass the test of time? Which of today’s players are you referring to specifically? And what exactly makes those old swings timeless? Don’t just trot out tired predictable nostalgic cliches. Think about what you’re saying and back it up!
Really nice. Can anyone timestamp when various golfers appear? Could the 1st golfer be Hogan in his first major after the accident? Though the swing looks different somehow especially the legs and finish.
I could watch this all day. All beautiful and fliud and unique. No cookie cutter swings. Snead and Bobby Locke practicing side by side. Anybody know who the guy dressed all in gray with no hat and the super upright swing was?
It's cool to see how much the golf swing was changing at that time. All the older guys had those old-fashioned languid swings, as if they were swinging a sledgehammer, while the younger guys had the classic reverse "C" finish.
That's likely the difference in growing up with hickory shafts and then transitioning to steel. Some made the transition well, others didn't. It's still golf. But I do play hickories now in preference to all others.
I very much appreciate uploading such beautiful footage. Sir Floyd Goodson, this footage deserve millions of views. My name is Simon Lin and I run a golf Instagram account that features many great golfers with classic golf swings. I think they would love to see these master swings. Would you mind if I take a few short clips from your video and share it with the community?
These guys were strong. Swinging sledge hammers compared to the feathers of today. I struggled with my game until technology started to give us lighter equipment. Because of that still playing competitive golf as I get older
Floyd thank you for posting this video. I keep returning to it time and again. I do have a question, though. Is it possible that this is film of the 1952 Masters and not 1950? I ask because several players who appear in the film--eg. Johnny Revolta, Bobby Locke and Ed Oliver--are not listed among the 1950 participants, but did play in 1952. Apologies if someone has already raised this question.
No apologies necessary. The canister the original film was in was labeled 1950 masters. He might have mislabeled it but I went off of that. Thanks for noticing and I hope you enjoyed the film.
@@tandfloyd Thanks. It's a wonderful video. A real gift to anyone interested in pre-TV golf, and a testament to the memory of all the fine pros of that era.
Hello Floyd - thank you for sharing this video, it's really amazing. Where you able to identify all the golfers in the video? Would you mind posting their names? Looking to see Jack Burke and/or Jimmy Demaret
I'd say it has to do alot with philosophy... Today, everything is about power, how hard/far you can hit it. It's about getting the muscles as engaged and explosive as possible, and as a result.... You get rigid, mechanical swings. Back then, it was about feel. How well do you hit the ball, what can you make it do, how effortless can you be. That's not to say today's golfers can't do some pretty cool things with a golf ball, but they also have crazy amounts of technology to help them. These guys just had some metal and plastic, and made it do amazing things.
Sorry for my late reply. I found the original 8 mm film in my grandmother’s house after she passed away, as well as many other reels. I took them to a digital photo shop and then bam, this popped up. I nearly soiled myself. It was shot by her husband/ my grandfather while he was at Augusta that day.
It's interesting how much more there's a "hit" with the wrists, compared to now where it's less of a whip like effect. I'm not sure which is better, or if that's even a question to ask. BUT I think it's fair to say that these swings don't look like they are anywhere near as hard on the body as the swings of now. The club just whips through impact, compare to now where it's more of a body turn, less of a whip like look. One of the greatest instructors of all time (John Jacobs) heavily emphasized that you must swing the club-head. I think the above observation, is the result of swinging the clubhead and I don't think it's something you can manufacture. Golf is a cause and effect game. You must figure out the cause.
Ben Crenshaw dis but I think the email has been lost over time- but you can look up the field for that year and probably make some pretty good assumptions
Beautiful reverse "c" follow thrus! This is how the game was taught as well. Gay Brewer, Tommy Bolt stand out. Notice how the gallery respected themselves more by dressing appropriately, and not many obese people either.
Terry Smith I wish I wrote those names down . I talked to a number of experts on this video but google tell you who was in the field that year. Best Floyd
it was cool to practise with a cigarette permanently in situ, seems strange watching that now, lots of lead heels coming off the deck during the backswing, waggles, and forwards presses.
@@mamazoya1 Famed sportswriter Jim Murray referred to Lloyd as "The forgotten man of golf" Being he was overshadowed by the obvious greats of that time. He did win one major in 1946 (US OPEN), and was 2nd twice in the Masters (1940 and 1949). Sad but a true fact is that Mangrum in his lifetime suffered many heart atacks for whatever reason. Some reported he had up to 12 heart attacks which is astonishing. He'd die at age 59 of a heart attack in 1973.
Those swings all look so average quality compared to Ben Hogan's of that era. I believe he was not able to play this tournament because of the car accident he was in. Hogan was pure perfection when at his best.
I forwarded this to Ben Crenshaw who identified every player. I knew he would know given his passion for the history of the game and the Masters. I should have asked how we could have edited the video to tag each player by name.
Those were the days of classy people watching gentlemen game now is mostly bunch of idiots drunk crowd making the game of golf look dirty thanks 😊 for posting

I’m glad you enjoyed the video
I’m still amazed that I found it in my grandmothers house after she passed away and that it was still in good enough condition to be digitized.
It was in the middle of a a lot of family videos and I must have jumped 10 feet into the air when I realized what I was watching.
I had no idea what was on all those reel to reel tapes
Amen.

Travelling all night by cars is what almost got Hogan killed...
At what part of the clip do they speak?
@@chuckwalla2967 telepathy.
Thanks, interesting to watch these guys swing. This was the year I began playing golf.
wie feinsinnig gewählt! Musik von Pachelbel zu dieser ästhetisch schönen Golfperformance👌👌😘
Whoa, that was mesmerizing. What great footage. Thanks
Absolutely fantastic, especially, for me anyway, to see Bobby Locke, in his prime, in colour.
Professional golfers have an amazing brotherhood
We do indeed, everyone knows how hard it is to develop into a class ball striker and baller of the game. Kids these days have got no idea how tough it was with the equipment from back in the day

This is a great find, the grandmaster's of golf at the masters.
definitely some grandmasters in that crowd.

Great to see the greats always had one of these swings ,…..,then and now with very little change…👍🏼✌️
Wow, this is amazing!

Really cool video. One thing I noticed here and in the older tournaments Augusta National has uploaded is how slow the greens look compared to today.
Pro shop moment was cool too
That's because they used to be Bermuda greens. Changed to bent grass around 1980.
Yes ... and modern agronomy has come a long way since then too!
In asia, many courses are still using Bermuda greens. Probably not as slow as the one back in the 50's but sure slow then bent grass.
It's a feat to have bent grass in Georgia. Nicklaus won 5 of his 6 on Bermuda grass greens. Watson might be the only player besides Nicklaus to win at least one Green Jacket on bermuda, and bent

historicus146 The guy 4:32 in the red plaid hat and yellow sweater is Mangrum also, I think. 5:05 Bolt is in the red jacket and grey Hogan hat.
Norman Von Nida is the little guy in more of a beret than a Hogan hat (but similar).
White baseball hat?
Absolutely amazing post. Thank you. No hiding place with those balls and clubs. Recognised a few of the players, but guess no Hogan because he was still recovering from his crash. Don't think I saw Snead, but mangrum, boros, burkemo I think.

Yes great post! looks like Hogan at 9:21.
Hogan was entered and was a pre-tourney favorite because of excellent practice rounds. He was two back at the start of the final round but sagged with a 76, settling for a T4th.
Meanwhile in Columbus, Ohio a 10 year old boy named Jack Nicklaus started to play golf.

Awesome video....those great swings could pass the test of time....unlike todays...thank you for sharing rare footage..
Why couldn’t today’s golf swings pass the test of time?
Which of today’s players are you referring to specifically?
And what exactly makes those old swings timeless?
Don’t just trot out tired predictable nostalgic cliches. Think about what you’re saying and back it up!
Everyone had a “ Waggle” back then, they should teach young players the concept of a waggle. Helps with relaxing and helps eliminate arm tension
thanks for posting!
Thanks Floyd, great content!
Magnificent!!
Really nice. Can anyone timestamp when various golfers appear? Could the 1st golfer be Hogan in his first major after the accident? Though the swing looks different somehow especially the legs and finish.
I thought the same thing but that can't be Hogan for the reasons you mentioned.
Lloyd mangrum
That sure looks like Byron Nelson at 8:16 for a few swings. Retired by that time, but maybe still playing the Masters?
Byron Nelson, Hogan, Boros...Nice!
..........and a nice Christmas song....
camera from 1950 gets 100x better ball flight coverage than 2021 tv camera.

Yes needs to stand in front of 1 irons from 20 yards.
Thank you Floyd. Now i know what happened the year i was born
2k dang kid that's awesome, keep it going..........
Wish I could
That’s all I got!😀
woa this is like golf porn.. so well put together.. why back then their swings looked so free when now it looks so rigid and tense?
Great point!
One name, Bobby Jones. Greatest amateur golfer ever.
Because they all learned with hickory shafts and had to have full control of their hands. Like swinging rubber.
I'd say it has to do alot with philosophy...
Today, everything is about power, how hard/far you can hit it. It's about getting the muscles as engaged and explosive as possible, and as a result.... You get rigid, mechanical swings.
Back then, it was about feel. How well do you hit the ball, what can you make it do, how effortless can you be.

Looks like way more of a working man's sport back then. Even the golf course looked pretty rough around the edges.
Thank you for posting this, great stuff. Is this all of the footage, or is this an edit? Thanks.
That was all of it- wish there had been more.
Music was added by the film company that restored it from the 16mm film
ahh... the old hit the caddie game 11:20
I didn't see any Hogan swings in this video...must have been putting? With such golf swings, its not hard to see why Hogan was so successful.
Jimmy Damaret would win this to become the first 3 time Masters Champion.
This would have been just a couple of years before he appeared on "I Love Lucy"....!
This was actually 1952. JD won his third in 1950 of course.
The perfect world.
it was cool to practise with a cigarette permanently in situ, seems strange watching that now, lots of lead heels coming off the deck during the backswing, waggles, and forwards presses.
I noticed that too big time
Was that Hogan in the beginning? ( white pants,black shirt,Hogan cap) Damn he hits the ball hard!
A Texan, but not Hogan. Lloyd Mangrum.

Those swings all look so average quality compared to Ben Hogan's of that era. I believe he was not able to play this tournament because of the car accident he was in. Hogan was pure perfection when at his best.
Hogan tied for 4th at the 1950 Masters.
Vintage wine !!
Think I saw Jay Don Blake in there.
I forwarded this to Ben Crenshaw who identified every player. I knew he would know given his passion for the history of the game and the Masters. I should have asked how we could have edited the video to tag each player by name.
It is 1950 Jay Don Blake wasn’t even born yet.
@@tandfloyd do you have the names?
@@darkflag64 Ben Crenshaw did when he saw the video but I didn’t write them down🙈
1952
Looks like regular old st augustine grass
Those were the days of classy people watching gentlemen game now is mostly bunch of idiots drunk crowd making the game of golf look dirty thanks 😊 for posting
look at Hogan, doesn't even mark the ground when he swings! Ha, try that you youngsters....
Debussy? Really?
Beautiful. Would be so much nicer without the music. I imagine I'm in the minority with that opinion.
Luckily devices are equipped with volume controls.
What a bunch of crappy swings!!!
