Well the country has gone completely down the toilet since then. Those days weren't too long off the gold standard and the fiat money scam hadn't taken full hold then.
I'm actually in love with these. This was an exceptional program I'm so happy to be seeing for the first times now. Also, Freddy and JD just class acts.
Brings back such fond memories. Two of my favorite players of that era. Class acts both of them, complimenting and encouraging one another. Very nice to see again.
I could watch this exhibition of golf over & over.....just soooooo pure!!!! Two of my favorite golfers on a pristine facility in the American West. Does it get much better than that?!
Thank you PGA Tour for bringing to us these outstanding tournaments played years and years ago. It is wonderful to be able to watch them,, as well we must Thank RUclips for providing the website.
I might have to give a slight edge to Payne Stewart. Absolute butter. But Freddy's still got a gorgeous swing -- I love the way Augusta turns back the clock for him every year.
Agreeing with ALL the others who've agreed that Fred Couples swing is beautiful. As well I agree with "trdsf" comment that the great Payne Stewart's swing was so magnificent to watch. We miss Payne so much.
I’m trying to think how many times I’ve watched this match. First time I caught it was in 2006...while I was recovering from dental surgery. Time flies!
"I can't hit this...I don't even know if it's my ball" is something I say every time I play. Freddie did a classy job of scolding the spectator there at the end of the round.
Why cant we have these vibes today. A crowd following the group. The kayaks in the water watching. In-between hole interviews. Two chill dudes golfing John Daly: "Times have changed indeed":( 44:08
Freddie has one of the most sweet smooth accurate tee shots I have ever seen.Both golfers have incredible athletic talent.And both are socially charming men.
Freddie seems like such a genuine dude... The way he talks to JD... it’s almost like a big brother deal. Keeps things very positive and light knowing JD gets down on himself ~
I watched John Daly and Fizzy Zeller play an practice round and Riviera and John was joking with the crowd and Fuzzy asked him “are you going to play golf or joke around?” John teed his ball up on a Diet Coke can and hit is 300 yards down the middle and and responded “both”. 😂
Please do this to the entire series...sell it in the dying physical market of dvds. Organize by decade, along with new interviews of the tech shell used/combined with original interviews regarding the tech shell used. Simply amazing. You obviously have the rights...get this done please!,
What a great match, these are two of golf's greatest players giving it all they have. I would love to meet them both in person one day. And tell them thanks for the contribution they have given to the game.
Here in NSW (a state of Australia), our courses were closed for 24 hours 6 weeks ago before the powers came to their senses. We've been playing groups of 2 ever since, no touching the flagstick, no bunker rakes, no smooching etc. Essential, especially for the older generation who really need both the physicality and socialisation golf offers. It's also really had an impact on the interest shown in golf with overbooking and swelling memberships. Who would've thought??
It just doesn’t get much better than Freddy! He’s the one that sparked my love of the game as a 12 year old in 1992. His swing is what are golfer wishes they had. He’s always humble and respectful… such a legend
I've played all three courses at Sun River Resort. The greens are like carpet. My first time there I was on the putting green and actually bent down to touch the grass to see if it was real. And then asked the starter and he assured me it was real and all the greens were that perfect. A golfer's dream coming from hot and humid Virginia and the pockmarked greens.
I did some investigation and found out that the guy who shouted out too early on Daly's swing was asked to leave. As he left the course grounds two men in suits put a black hood over his head and threw him into the back of a car. He was then tortured for two hours and given a bill for $50,000 to cover the Daly's loss of earnings. The guy however did survive the ordeal and now works for LIV golf as a paid spectator to shout out; "in the hole!"
😂 23:50 is basically PEAK Fred Couples. “Take a look at this lie- how ya get a lie this good? (*does a little laidback-type stretch) How far we got anyway. (*Hears yardage) Oh boy. Pitching wedge? (Flushes it)” That’s a man who knows how lucky he is and is loving it/life.
Wow what a viewing, the genuine respect they have for eachother is admirable! It seems people have lost an awful lot of respect and ettiquette compared to then, really is a shame!
Couples dealt with back issues even back then or he could have accomplished the aforementioned. Daly was just enjoying himself living his best life, just like he does today.
I recently played that course.. it had some of the widest fairways I’ve ever played on a golf course.. if your wedge game is on it’s actually pretty easy to score well on it. I do have to say the views on the course are absolutely stunning!! And I saw quite a bit of wildlife and fish jumping in the waterways.
Played this course in the early 2000's with friends as part of a golf trip. We got on because one of our friends was a PGA Pro (teaching pro) and he knew the other pro at Crosswater. On the 687 yard par 5, our buddy hit driver and driver off deck to get there in 2. He was sitting just on the fringe, made the putt for eagle.
OMG 😳!! I’m late to the game by a few years :)).2 of Golf’s Icons I watched & learned golf ⛳️ from aka self taught. Then comes Tiger of course. I’m so old I don’t remember watching this?? Hmmmm! Best game in the world 🌎.

Love the 90s aesthetic of the broadcast. Honey-smooth voice overs and nicely integrated product placement for the region and the golf resort.
Everything was correct and better in the 80s and 90s
Well said Jax!
Agreed, I think this was how it's done
The product placement is not nicely integrated but I do love those voice overs
Well the country has gone completely down the toilet since then. Those days weren't too long off the gold standard and the fiat money scam hadn't taken full hold then.
The competitiveness with the respect and compliments Freddie and John give make matches like this so awesome makes it so enjoyable to watch
The smoothness of Fred’s swing is unbelievable. What am I witnessing
Fred's swing
You are witnessing rhythm and melody.......
Effortless Power. As opposed to most of us with Powerless Effort. Lol
JD and Freddy two of the most humble and great players of all time.
I'm actually in love with these. This was an exceptional program I'm so happy to be seeing for the first times now. Also, Freddy and JD just class acts.
Brings back such fond memories. Two of my favorite players of that era. Class acts both of them, complimenting and encouraging one another. Very nice to see again.
This is exactly what we need right now
The respect the players show for each other here is very commendable.
Not only do these two have among the best swings ever but I love their approaches. They play instinctively
They should do these again . Would love to see it.
I agree
Wouldnt be the same imo. These guys were just so much more endearing and likable than today's players.
23 years later I'm enjoying this wonderful match between this 2 great golfers on a beautiful golf course with a lot of History....
what a stunning golf course... I love watching the perfect divots they take.
Take a shot every time you hear “Thanks John”
I blacked out after 9 holes...who won?
@@casinodegen2024 LOL
🥴
And take a sip whenever you here. Nice shot John
I have alcohol poisoning. Thanks.

The sound of Freddie's impact with full pitching wedge is majestic.
He was really underrated his whole career
@@oN3xShOtxkilLhe (and Daly) should have won more than they did. They had the talent for 5 or 6 majors each.
Fred Couples... the smoothest swing in golf.
best looking swing of all time imo
@@DMFChavez Agreed!

@@trdsf Can't wait for him to be in the top 20 again in the first round in November. Augusta just brings something back in that man doesn't it?
Freddies strut and swagger is off the charts. similar to DJ
I feel more like bubba
@@ricardopanameno402 lol goofy as heck you mean?
Yes !
I was waiting on John to light up a 🚬... lol
The best televised golf series ever. Not just for the golf either, great travelogue content too.
I’m trying to think how many times I’ve watched this match. First time I caught it was in 2006...while I was recovering from dental surgery. Time flies!
For being such a big hitter, Daly's short game is so underrated! Amazing touch!
Couples a true Gentleman, he will keep the match close for respect of his challenger. I've seen him do this several times.
"I can't hit this...I don't even know if it's my ball" is something I say every time I play. Freddie did a classy job of scolding the spectator there at the end of the round.
Hey SIR!…. You’re a little early… if you don’t mind us.
Why cant we have these vibes today. A crowd following the group. The kayaks in the water watching. In-between hole interviews. Two chill dudes golfing

I'd rather just relax and watch the program
this whole production is top notch, love the segments on the history of the area and the course.
Freddie and John is such a good combination.
they're being so kind to eachother
How we should all treat each other! Even our enemies 🙏
As true Gentlemen are.
Love seeing people enjoy a game without phones in there hands! Just people living the moment I almost forgot what those days are like!
I followed Fred around Royal Adelaide in 98. He didn't play his best but I was so stoked to see him swing. A real highlight.
It's just a honor 2 get to play on Shells historic wonderful world of golf what a fantastic game Just gotta love it
The shot responses from these two are priceless
😂😂😂 it’s great
Thanks john
Played this twice earlier in the week. Such a beautiful and very difficult course!
Looks like a monster
Freddy’s silky smooth swing..and JDs brilliant short game….awesome.
watching both of their swings is so satisfying
These were my favourite golfers when I was a younger fella.
Bring these back
two of the coolest dudes in the history of golf
43:10 what a golden clip
They are both so genuine to each other.
Man I love these reminds me of watching with my dad as a kid.
Those years were pure class. The game, the guys, the people, even the media, everything is nice and normal.
Bend, Oregon: now home of the last Blockbuster Video on the planet
haha they still have it?!
Not anymore :(
Freddie has one of the most sweet smooth accurate tee shots I have ever seen.Both golfers have incredible athletic talent.And both are socially charming men.
He sure has, butter
It's awesome watching these two play golf.

What a great match, these are two of golf's greatest players giving it all they have.
I would love to meet them both in person one day. And tell them thanks for the contribution they have given to the game.
Freddie and John are two of my favorite players. I've tried thru the years to mimic both these players swings.
thats crazy...
@@rightyourwrong what's crazy? When i was trying to create my own swing style, i emulated many different golfers...
My 2 favorite golfers of all time!!
Not sure why they can’t do this now. Two player match with a wide open course. Social distancing would not be an issue.
Bill Gates wants inside you

The distance on the fairway between Daly's drive and mine. Now, THAT'S social distancing.
@@johndickson9542 Damn - you must hit the ball a mile. Very impressive!
@@johndickson9542 SDW
One of my two favorite players ever, John is a real dude and Freddy a real gentleman

The starter was on the green??
These 2 should have started an act. Miss this kind of competition.
this is golf, wholesome, humble and all about the sport itself
Doesn't get any better. Tiger woods is the main face of the PGA but Freddy and John are a close 2nd. This Era will never be matched.
This was the best senior golf venue ever! The most scenic background ever!
What a gorgeous course for this amazing round of golf.
Need to bring this back ASAP
My two favorite golfers of the 90's squaring off.
I could watch Fred swing all day long. Smoooooooth...
Butter!
I did some investigation and found out that the guy who shouted out too early on Daly's swing was asked to leave.

Good work.
These what's mean to be a great golfer, having funs and still playing like a professional golfer as they'll should. Brilliant!
Beautiful course and two excellent players and lots of health and their families
Couples talking to the kid
"I like those shoes, you're a better dresser than I am!"
Daly
"Got any money in those pockets" lmao
I just started getting into golf, and this is definitely a Gentlemens game. Im hooked
😂 23:50 is basically PEAK Fred Couples.
“Take a look at this lie- how ya get a lie this good? (*does a little laidback-type stretch) How far we got anyway. (*Hears yardage) Oh boy. Pitching wedge? (Flushes it)”
That’s a man who knows how lucky he is and is loving it/life.
What class. That idjit spectator has lots of kids at the tournaments aired these days. Mashed potatoes, light the candle etc. Those days were class
Wow what a viewing, the genuine respect they have for eachother is admirable! It seems people have lost an awful lot of respect and ettiquette compared to then, really is a shame!
Just awesome old school content!!
Big fan of both these two but man they should've won way more than they did. So much natural talent.
Daly should have at least 20 tour wins and 5 or 6 majors with his talent. Freddie should have 30-40 tour wins 5 or 6 majors too.
@@SN2903bingo, you nailed it. I could never get behind Couples for whatever reason
Couples dealt with back issues even back then or he could have accomplished the aforementioned.
Daly was just enjoying himself living his best life, just like he does today.
@46:16 best video shot ever
Fred couples swing is gold! Elegant but fluent and packed with power
JD rocking some sumptuous old Oakley's
Jack Whitaker was incomparable. In a class by himself.
There was no one better, loved his commentary on horse racing
Bob Rosburg too!
Jim McKay was pretty good back in the day. Frank Gifford actually called golf pretty well too.
Yes all classics. All had a rhythm like vin s. In baseball.
Very beautiful to watch I really enjoyed it God bless everyone who participated I’m making this possible
56:45 might be the best swing I’ve ever seen. Fred was too smooth with his tempo!
A lot of respect between these two - good to see.
I recently played that course.. it had some of the widest fairways I’ve ever played on a golf course.. if your wedge game is on it’s actually pretty easy to score well on it.

35:31 ah f**k that was short
Gotta love Johnny boy forgetting he has a mic on lol
Think he said “thought that was short” not fk that was short
This is amazing.
You have some golf in your ads
I was at that match...Awesome. I've played Sun River a few times, love it but not as
much as Bandon Dunes on the Oregon coast.
As a golf nut l would love to see this come back. Like D.J. vs Koepka are Finau vs Rory and ⛳
I’d love it if we could see Arnie vs Jack in 2001 at King and the Bear.
11:57 how tf do you get a 2-iron to land that soft 😭😭😭 dude is a beast..
freddy has the best damn swing ever..
It's like watching two close friends playing a casual game of golf.
Love the true game as it was meant!
As one of my competitive golf buddies always say, “early ripe, early rotten!” 😂😂😂😂😂
29:05 John Daly: “Get up. Sit down.”
Man I’ve sure been there before 😂
Two pure given talents here people.
@31:45 Awesome chip in from JD
JD is one awesome American. I play Freddy's old home course in Seattle often... he's no slouch either :-)
At 52:28, I thought to myself, “He’s gonna drain it, isn’t he?” Then when the ball was about 6 feet from the hole, I went, “Yep.”
Clutch.
Watching these old videos you start to realize how much freedom we've lost.........
It's insane
Crazy to think about… worlds gone mad.
Indeed. Not so loud, the bots and trolls will go after all of us for daring to think of a free nation.
@jowaest17
And you have no idea how much worse it’s going to get by 2023!!!
???? What freedom 😂😂😂
OMG 😳!! I’m late to the game by a few years :)).2 of Golf’s Icons I watched & learned golf ⛳️ from aka self taught. Then comes Tiger of course. I’m so old I don’t remember watching this?? Hmmmm! Best game in the world 🌎.
