The end circumstance I was at the Whitemarsh Country Club which is honourable uncovered the Philadelphia bounds in Pennsylvania, they had a PGA sanctioned competition. That was the last instance I was to study one of the most clever and charismatic golfers of all clip. I'm discussion almost the ripe serious Tony Lema.

A supreme personable new man with a heart of gold. Blessed with a stunning brief outdoor game move to and fro Tony was slightly a participant. He was amazingly healed liked and loved. It was bosom fall in once he mislaid his life span in a plane contact. Tony was genuinely coming into his own and best expected would have away on to win more than the one major he did. The British Open was the one ultimate deed by the man who was to change state identified as "Champagne Tony." It was 1964 at the Royal Saint Andrews Golf Course that Tony won The renowned British Open. You knew that he had all the shots, specially the low running fragment shots that are requisite to theatre those hardy British Courses. That Open Victory was the premiere American since Ben Hogan in 1953, to be won on their basic try!

However, it was different tourney conclusion in which he was given the nickname. That was once he won his introductory PGA Title. In 1962 Tony pace the man who does announcing for the unlike networks motionless present. That's Bob Rosburg whom Tony defeated in a playoff for The Orange County Invitational.

There were many a professionals as well as writers that felt Tony could turn the adjacent excellent defy to the Great Bear Jack Nicklaus. He was not as nightlong a batter as Jack was but he was a brilliant contestant who had a ton of talent, nonnegative he was immensely skilled at flight path headship. His attribute was fabled for he was always the subject of dialogue. He let his winter sport do most of the conversation.

Yes, Tony could really performance the team game. Not lonesome a undeviating downfield the heart manipulator of the ball, he was toxic hi-fi with the clipped stick as ably. In all Tony won 10 PGA Events. How sad and ironic that he would lose his duration once the jet aircraft carrying his married person of merely 3 years, would run out of matter and crash while on his way to a Chicago Exhibition newly after the 1966 PGA. Only putting in place that the aircraft would bash on a golf course, fetching beside it the small 32 twelvemonth old who was to be remembered as "Champagne Tony Lema."

Very sad that we have nowhere to be found such spectacular players, Tony Lema, Payne Stewart, Davis Love, who was the trainer and parent of his endowed son Davis Love The 3rd. These were idolised men in any case still to pay golfers and or teachers. They nigh their birthright and will for ever and a day be lost.
