The play most of you, the Gulf and are younger than forty years old, probably do not know who coined to say that the most famous golf. "They go on show but you putt for dough." Of course, you can hear it can have whenever someone misses a T-shirt, was shot and skulled their next shot. Hit a bad third little drain that catches the green and the income fifty footer to birdie a very ugly looking, if a par was five years old. You still have not put it down as if there are two good shots and two putts. A 4 is a 4th TheyEnter any additional points for how to get the ball into the hole.
When it came to rolling the golf ball on the green, no one has better talent than the South Africans. No, this is another S. African by the name of Bobby Locke. Gary Player was a good putter in his own right, he had to be, all the tournaments he won. Locke was in a different class, in fact, he was at the head of the putter category. Playing in his first tournament in second place and British low amateur in 1936British Open was only a beginning for the native from Germiston, a small town in South Africa. Locke would eventually be incorporated Capture 38 tournaments in his home tour, which later became known as "The Sunshine Tour. Locke, in time of armed division during World War 2, but would his golf career again in 1946.
It was during an exhibition with Sam Snead Snead, so that with the game of Locke that he invited him to America to play the PGA Tour, Locke was impressedquickly made his presence felt. Before Snead Locke would win 12 of 14 matches. Although Locke Snead would often play from tee to green, Locke would carve on the greens with his magic putter to Snead. Locke joined all of his golf shots, including his putts. On the back swing motion with the putter, he would always close the face slightly and would stir up on the front, he left it slightly open, more space for the putter face. His roll of the ball had morea hook spin than normal on spin you see in almost every good putter. Locke was not good, he was phenomenal! With an unorthodox putting he was deadly on the carpet. Removal of the putt did not matter, Locke, he would hole putts on the whole course.
How good was Bobby Lock? When he to the United States when invited by Snead, he played in 59 tournaments. He won 11 times and 30 times finished in the first three! He won the Chicago Victory International in 1948by 16 strokes, a record for margin of victory on the PGA Tour. Bobby Locke from playing in the United States banned after 1948. The reason given was because he did not play to meet its obligations, but the truth was more than likely because the other players, the fact that he is "stealing" their value for money and he was taken ill in another country. Locke was playing in 1951 again, but he declined because, as he was treated.
When Bobby left the PGA Tour, he went to Europe to play theirTour. Winning 23 more tournaments, including the British Open in 1949.1950, 1952 and 1957. In 1959, Locke in a serious car accident and his eyesight was never the same. His superior ability to read was gone green. With the touch of a surgeon and the accuracy of the shooter Selig, Locke could not just pin-point his full shots and short, everything that she had the hook spin, he could also convey different turns his putts. No one would deny Locke as the greatest putter ever, noProfessionals who played against him for sure. Bobby Locke was deservedly elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1977. Locke was elected the first foreign player. He died in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1987.
