Lee came to our club in Montebello, California, back in the 70's. He brought with him, actor James Garner, Dodgers 2nd baseman Maury Willis, singer Johnny Mathis, and a gentelman that was a trickshot artist. And he put on one hell of a show. He played golf and we followed him for about 16 holes, he had to leave early to catch a flight. All of his shots were spot on, and so were his jokes. I believe the name of his friend from El Paso, who worked at the club was Joe, if my memory is correct. Thank you, Mr Super Mex, you made our day that day.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Trevino back in the 70's at a resort course in southern Florida. I was the teaching assistant there, and Lee would come to our driving range to practice for the Inverrary (I think). I had never seen anyone practice so effectively as Lee Trevino. He would invite me to sit in the golf cart while he hit balls, Herman was with him, and he would tell me stories about playing the tour , the US Open, and perfecting his game. He would hit a full shag bag of 9 irons, then a full shag bag of 8 irons, then 7 irons...etc..etc.. I was lucky enough to play a few rounds with him, and can say in all honesty that he is one of the most genuinely friendly supportive pros, that I had ever met.. I always look back at those days with such happy memories.. He is such a credit to the game we all love. (I still remember those Faultless golf balls!!)
Amazing listen! I watched the whole thing and I don't think I ever even blinked! Guys like Mr. Trevino are a dying breed. It's a shame they don't build them like that anymore
This interview might just be the most gripping one ever. I had to go somewhere halfway through, and I tried, I really tried to leave, intending to finish the interview later, but each story kept dragging me back in. In the end, I gave in and watched till the end. My wife's not a golfer so she couldn't understand. I took the heat. Terrific interview. Fascinating person. Great golfer, but a fascinating person.
That 2 hours flew by. Great pod. Great man. Great storytelling. Mr Trevino must also take the baton of best Gary Player impression from KVV. Well done NLU
I just worked the PNC Championship in Orlando. After the Friday pro Am, I stood a few feet from Trevino and watched him talk to Tiger and Charlie for 30 straight minutes on the driving range. TW and CW listened with great interest the entire time. It was amazing to watch.
Hes always been the best . Beyond being a great,great golfer, and having to battle with several of the best golfers EVER, he is so friendly,so genuine,so funny,so humble, so grateful. Truly , one of a kind.
This will go down as probably top 3 episodes you guys have ever done. Listening to Trevino is weirdly like listening to great golf literature, a true treasure of the game, plenty of laughs and then some serious stuff too, great job guys!
i wish it was 5 hours longer! i can listen to Lee all day and nite..my favorite golfer ever,,used to follow him all day at the nfl cadillac classic in nj where im from..i would get so excited to see him in person at that tournament every yr and he won it more than once..
I happened upon this at 3am as I was settling in to sleep....Well, needless to say, I couldn't stop. Wonderful interview, wonderful golfer, even better human being.😁
I ran into Lee at Citrus club in La Quinta.....same Lee...funny as hell...i asked him thru the car window if he was up for a game and he said he thought i was looking for a caddy.. ..what a nice guy
Not just a great time to hustle golf,but 60d 70s,80s,tremendous era,early 90 the senior tour was tremendous, and they were out drawing the reg tour,and had over 30 tournaments a yr,Jack o ly played half,intill recently had most majors.
@@NoLayingUp Thanks! Loved the pod , Trevino is one hell of a story teller that’s for sure. Was hoping for a Happy Gilmore question but next pod for sure 🤣
God so loved the world That He sent His one and only Son Jesus To die for the sins of the world That Whoever believes in Him, (Trust in Him to save you), Will not Perish, But will have eternal life.❤
Lee Trevino is absolutely, hands down, my favorite golfer to watch all time. Fuzzy Zoeller comes in a close second. I say this not because of their talent or how many tournaments they won, but because of their "devil may care" attituded when playing golf. Mr. Trevino always entertained the crowd whether he was playing poorly, or at the top of his game. I believe Fuzzy was the same way. If Lee or Fuzzy hit a terrible golf shot, you almost always saw them shrug and then say something to make the crowd laugh and enjoy the play. God bless Lee Trevino, my very favorite golfer to watch on TV, all time!
Fuzzy and Lee were playing The Skins Game in 1987 with Nicklaus and Palmer. Jack hit his tee shot and Lee was urging it to stay left to keep it in the fairway. Fuzzy then chimed in, "Never trust a Mexican pulling for your golf ball." Did Lee go out and try to get Fuzzy banned and ostracized like Tiger did at The Masters? No. Lee chuckled knowing Fuzzy didn't have a racist bone in his body.
Fabulous interview!!! True story. I live near Clemmons, NC where Lee won the 74 PGA. My mom drove a courtesy car for the PGA that week. She drove Lee to Tanglewood the morning he won the PGA in 74. Wish you had asked him about the putter he won with. He found it in the woman's house he was renting the week of the tournament. About 2 miles from my house.
He is the best. Saw him in person win the PGA at Tanglewood and then again in Hartford. He was an amazing shot maker and a great entertainer. Talk about charisma, credibility, style, and so interesting. Makes the robots playing today look silly. God bless this guy.
I saw him in person and had a MUCH different experience in Nashville at a senior tour event.. Shunned fans and cursed volunteers..totally self absorbed. Growing up in Texas as a poor Mexican gave him a huge chip on his shoulder and a need to be in the spotlight. He has mellowed a little bit but not much. I was a fan too but not after watching the real Lee in person.
@@roywallace3964 Are you saying he's a real life Shooter McGee as seen in Happy Gilmore? 😊 I don't believe it. He's passionate and competitive, but no Don Johnson as portrayed in Tin Cup.
Yearning for the past is usually overrated, but not in this case. Hearing colorful people like Lee highlight the blandness of today's tour and players. This is your best pod.
"Yearning for the past" doesn't mean to go backward, it means to live with the same sense of work ethic, self sufficiancy, and power to overcome obstacles and suceed that past generations had, along with a big dose of - mind to your own business and don't live your life based on what the internet tells you.
Lee Trevino offered a tip while working for nbc about holding on to the “y” in the backswing. I went to play the next day and had the best driving day in my life using his tip.. thank you Lee. …
Ooooof...I read the comments before finishing the video, at about the halfway point...was sort of waiting for this to come up the whole time. Not a great way to finish, poor choice of words. I thought Lee was just fantastic. Hope he outlives us all.
A few months back ,well now it’s half a year I played a round and had dinner at the club house, and I over heard a croup of young men talking about how they thought Lee Trevino’s stories had to be made up. Well when I was done I got up,turned to them and said, ( No The Stories He Tells Are True) because in any event Lee is asked about certain aspects of his career,the answers he replies with are always the same. And if you want proof,all you have to do is watch the videos. They didn’t have a reply! What a fantastic interview. LEE TREVINO is a great example of how hard work and commitment can lead to success.
In 1971 Lee came to Robinson, Illinois pop: about 7,000 to play in the $100,000 Robinson Open. He had made a commitment to come before he won the Us, British, and Canadian Opens that year. He didn't have to, but he honored his word. That, is a great person!
Lee Trevino is why I love golf. He was my dad’s favorite player and I saw him at the 1971 Canadian Open in the Montreal area which he won that year. That was my 1st ever PGA tourney and I never looked back, been playing since then, thanks to my dad to bring me there and Mr Trevino to show me the intricacies of that fascinating game. Great job Laying up to get this legend on your podcast.

Lástima que este persona cuyo se ve muy Mexicano no habla el Español

Lee Buck is one of my favorites of all time, boy he looks good for 84. 👍
As I watch and listen,, GOD has been very good to Lee Trevino. 84 years on the planet have been good to him. He looks fantastic doesn't he.
Amazing listen! I watched the whole thing and I don't think I ever even blinked! Guys like Mr. Trevino are a dying breed. It's a shame they don't build them like that anymore
This was a real treat. Lee was the only pro that was willing to stop and give me an autograph when I was small boy at a Senior event. Great dude
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks to everyone involved in putting this together. Special thanks to Mr L Trevino. 🤝
What a man.
And what a great interview from a knowledgeable and assured interviewer.
Pure gold.
The best golf interview I have ever listened to. Superb job Solly. What a legend. Amazing man with a life filled with the greatest stories.
This interview might just be the most gripping one ever.

That was awesome love Trevino, happy someone finally got him on a podcast, what an amazing storyteller and an amazing life he has lived
Lee encompasses everything I love about the game.
Yo love ❤️ this game so much. 😊 Its a real pleasure to meet other lovers of the game. I'm practicing my putting indoors right now.
The man was born to be a golfer AND a story teller. Unbelievable
Such a gentlemen and a genuine character.
Do you think God established a seed of destiny inside Trevino? 🤔
Q😮
I just worked the PNC Championship in Orlando. After the Friday pro Am, I stood a few feet from Trevino and watched him talk to Tiger and Charlie for 30 straight minutes on the driving range. TW and CW listened with great interest the entire time. It was amazing to watch.
Trevino is a cool dude. Glad to see him so well.
the greatest golf personality to ever live
Terrific work Soly.! You helped Lee through some memory loss in such a respectful way that allowed him to shine.
Easily, the greatest sports story ever told!
Hes always been the best . Beyond being a great,great golfer, and having to battle with several of the best golfers EVER, he is so friendly,so genuine,so funny,so humble, so grateful. Truly , one of a kind.
This was the best pod on NLU ever
Trevino is one of the GOATS. Loved his roll in Happy Gilmore
At age 14, I became a range boy at our local golf course. When I got a chance to hit the ball. I always pretended I was LEE TREVINO.
What a wonderful interview. I could listen to Lee Trevino for ever!!!
Mr. Trevino is just an all around good guy. Class act.
Cool,seems like a great human being,poor boy that made it big,good for him!
This will go down as probably top 3 episodes you guys have ever done. Listening to Trevino is weirdly like listening to great golf literature, a true treasure of the game, plenty of laughs and then some serious stuff too, great job guys!

Lee is a class act and a regular good ole boy. God Bless you Lee!! SEMPER FI DEVIL DOG!!!
The best golf interview guest ever

Saw Lee play at the British open at muirfield in 87. He shot 67 in the first round. Legend!!

A Legend ! My kids and I got to see him hit a few practice balls in Irving Texas.
My all time fav.
Self taught ... WHAT A PLAYER!!!
I would love to be walking through an airport and run into Lee at some bar and just listen to Lee's stories for about 2 hours.
Thankyou fir this interview, Trevino the man who wore black an red on Sunday 😂
Gold!
Mr. Lee Trevino, a UNITED STATES Marine!
What a nice guy !!
That cop started the Trevino Legend…great way to handle the incident…

and SO SMART!⛳️
Damn, i've been waiting for this one
Lee travino
The caesar chavez of all golfers who cant afford new taylored clubs ...but dream of being golfers and truely love golf
Lets hear the story about when you had to come in the back kitchen door at Augusta, that's my favorite
If you understand the phrase “he dug his game and swing out of the dirt“. Now you understand how Lee Trevino perfected his golf game.
You know it was a late night when you get your wakeup call and there's still ice in your scotch glass.
The before you die comment was really uncomfortable. What the hell was he thinking?
He’ll be doing cringe face for the rest of his life when he thinks about that…
1:33:35 "Diet Coke" was introduced in 1982
It goes fast.
Ray Floyd’s not getting younger. And what did you think of Maridoe?
Ever seen his daughters?
Anyone know the name of the book Soly references throughout pod? Maybe he said it and I missed it
"They Call Me Super Mex"
@@NoLayingUp Thanks! Loved the pod , Trevino is one hell of a story teller that’s for sure. Was hoping for a Happy Gilmore question but next pod for sure 🤣
Interview starts at 1:55
Mr Trevino encourages me to be a theist
Lee
God so loved the world
That He sent
His one and only Son Jesus
To die for the sins of the world
That Whoever believes in Him,
(Trust in Him to save you),
Will not Perish,
But will have eternal life.❤
I won't use a line on my ball so I can be free.
All advertisement far too long talking about sponsors wouldn't bother again
.
😅
Can't believe you guys had an ad in this episode. Disgusting.
How is it possible that Lee Trevino cannot speak Spanish when he grew up the way he did? Something doesn't add up.
FR
I love watching golf. I do not participate in the sport.
Simper Fi Lee
One of golf’s underrated treasures. Thanks for getting him in for an interview.
Lee Trevino is absolutely, hands down, my favorite golfer to watch all time. Fuzzy Zoeller comes in a close second.

I’m 64 years old now. When I was in the 8th grade, I used to deliver his newspaper. El Paso, Texas. Eastridge.
I love lee ,he's just a good ol boy and funny and a American hero thank a vet
This was incredible. Could have listened to another 2 hours.
Thank you for meeting with Lee and having such great questions and history. National treasure
It's truly unbelievable where Lee Buck Trevino started in life and where he ended up.
Yes it is. Love this dude. What a badass
Fabulous interview!!! True story. I live near Clemmons, NC where Lee won the 74 PGA. My mom drove a courtesy car for the PGA that week. She drove Lee to Tanglewood the morning he won the PGA in 74. Wish you had asked him about the putter he won with. He found it in the woman's house he was renting the week of the tournament. About 2 miles from my house.
Wow. Not heard that story. I'm from Raleigh
Great story about one of the games greats 🙂
He is the best. Saw him in person win the PGA at Tanglewood and then again in Hartford. He was an amazing shot maker and a great entertainer. Talk about charisma, credibility, style, and so interesting. Makes the robots playing today look silly. God bless this guy.
Today's players are NOT robots. They are human beings. Who play with such precision they might as well be cyborg robots. Thanks 😊
I saw him in person and had a MUCH different experience in Nashville at a senior tour event.. Shunned fans and cursed volunteers..totally self absorbed.

Great stories. Thanks Lee. Didn’t he make a hole in one in the Seniors Skins game in the 1980’s?
Definitely did😊
It was the regular Skins game, yes very famous shot.
Yes he did hit 6 iron to an island green never left the pin!
Listened to half already on the pod but when I saw there was a video had to watch it and see the joy in his face as he recounts many a great tale
Lee Trevino offered a tip while working for nbc about holding on to the “y” in the backswing. I went to play the next day and had the best driving day in my life using his tip.. thank you Lee. …
Great story teller. Nd he remembers every shots he played, and also his opponents’ every shots. Incredible!
Cant believe this dosnt have millions of views yet.. soon it will this is absolutely AMAZING. Thank you for this gold treasure with Mr. Trevino
Great interview with Super Mex Lee Trevino…big smile!
What a great video!
Lee is like a tractor when he gets to telling stories...he just drops it into gear and he goes man! He goes! What a legend.
"before i die.....
..before you die i would think"
What a weird way to lose face right at the end there 😂
Soly did a great job with this interview. Lee has an amazing story to his life.
' Before you die actually "
Ha! Yes that was such an odd thing to say. Poor Lee.
Ooooof...I read the comments before finishing the video, at about the halfway point...was sort of waiting for this to come up the whole time. Not a great way to finish, poor choice of words. I thought Lee was just fantastic. Hope he outlives us all.
Great interview Soly. Trevino is in a class of his own. Very enjoyable listening to Lee’s stories. Well Done👏👍🙏
