The legendary Lee Trevino shares an important tip when it comes to determining your club path.

There’s so much golf instruction out there from so many different people, all of whom have helpful tips to share, but one of my all-time favorite people to listen to about golf is Lee Trevino. Not only is the 84-year-old Trevino a six-time major champ — so he knows what the hell he’s talking about — but he’s also so entertaining and easy to understand when he gives tips to amateur golfers. Sure, there are some people who learn best by talking technical and feeling the difference between a club path at 32 degrees versus 28 degrees, but that sure isn’t me.
I need to visualize something in order to put it into practice — and then can be pretty successful quite quickly upon doing so. So the fact that a golf lifer like Trevino keeps things so relaxed with his golf instruction is always a welcome sight. And it doesn’t get much simpler or casual than Trevino comparing the angle of attack to swatting flies — which is what Trevino provides in today’s lesson.
