I am the a golf writer and Senior editor of the African American Golfers Digest. I want to thank you for this video. Calvin was a legend of the game and I feel that he richly deserves to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
@@marctesio3413 I'm sorry, but that's not true. Isao Aoki is in the World Golf Hall of Fame, and he has no major wins and no 20 PGA tour wins. He also doesn't have as many PGA tour wins as Calvin Peete. Sometimes the hall of fame is more political than we'd like to admit.
Calvin Peete has more wins of any AA player outside of tiger he had more than Sifford and Elder combined plus a players championship which in my eyes is the greatest field in golf year in and out ...outside of a masters win his career is almost identical to Fred couples in wins ..
What a real gentleman and great player.I cant believe how great he was by starting the game so late.Truly impressesd with his accuracy of the tee for so long.Rest in peace.
I watched the pitching video earlier and there is one thing that is consistent here - Dan talks too much and too loud. Ignoring that fact that he is too loud, he is always "talking over" Calvin. Shut up and let his speak, you have him there because he has quality information to pass along.
Dan Pohl asked the question about the best tip Calvin ever got and then let Calvin get away with not clearly answering it so I would like to take the liberty to clarify it since I heard Calvin talk about it in the past in another video . The short game tip that Homero Blancas gave Calvin was that in shots that are short enough to not require a wrist cock (hinge) you put the ball in the back of your stance. For shots that are long enough to require a wrist cock you put the ball in the center of the stance. Now if only someone could explain what Calvin meant by " the left hand is the feel and the right hand is the touch that delivers the feel "
My guess at "left hand is the feel" is that the left hand will be more sensitive to changes in the club's angle and speed as it is closest to the tip of the club's handle. Just like the tip of a whip or sword swings/moves much faster than the handle.
No matter what the age, talent is something that is almost like the soul--it's there man. Those little chips, well, hell, Tiger struggled with those for a while. Yet, there's Pete, like almost holing them at who knows what age...looks like he's in his 70s or so.
shame that we lost Calvin so early. I remember following him around Muirfield Village one year back in the late 80's, and he never missed a fairway. Granted, the fairways are pretty generous out there but if they were 20 yards narrower, he still wouldn't have missed one. Every drive was a low "bullet" right down the pipe. Still remember to this day. Another amazing driver was Tom Watson but I digress.....
so, touch= is to determine club contact and tempo for the shot.. then feel = is delivering that "touch" & tempo to the ball to a certain spot to runout/with spin? and the precision is not for the cup.. the flag is just a distance marker that is not necessarily the main target; a reference wow lol
But Calvin didnt even say what Homer told him that were the 2 best tips lol he just said its about hinging and not hinging and ball position... come on host guy why did you end that there!

I feel lucky to know one of his younger brother. Awesome Godly man! Larry Peete. My best friend! 😊
"Let the stick do the talking" Calvin Peete. Great swinger and quiet gentleman. RIP.

Fitting tribute
One of my all- time favorite players…RIP

Agreed.
What a treasure Calvin is!!!!
Happy to see Mr. Calvin Peete again. I remember his win in Japan, when I was small.
Just keep quiet and let Calvin speak.
I saw your comment on the other video ...Dan cant help himself.

Thanks for the clarification. I wanted to understand more of what Homero had told Calvin.
My guess at "left hand is the feel" is that the left hand will be more sensitive to changes in the club's angle and speed as it is closest to the tip of the club's handle. Just like the tip of a whip or sword swings/moves much faster than the handle.
@@thoyo I believe he actually said it 2 different ways but I think he meant the left hand (power hand) is the touch and the right hand is the feel.
@@dtmcbride interesting
He also linked it to the different areas of the brain, left side , right side . Whatever he meant , he could certainly play , what a player !

A true legend indeed!

Dan
Shouda coulda let the man tell us what he wanted us to hear
My golfing hero!
LEGENDARY!
Hopkins makes a ball too? Found one in the bucket at the driving range, gonna try it out.
What a legend!
i remember the calvin peete coca cola classic..
This makes sense
Love that bad dood.
Great set of tips! He has aged well.
so, touch= is to determine club contact and tempo for the shot.. then feel = is delivering that "touch" & tempo to the ball to a certain spot to runout/with spin? and the precision is not for the cup.. the flag is just a distance marker that is not necessarily the main target; a reference wow lol
lets go!!
why does the guy with the blue hat talk more than mr peete and stand in the way so we cant see his shot?
Interesting technique but he doesn't mention that his feet are offset, with a more open stance...?
Miami bass
Would be nice to see a down the line view
But Calvin didnt even say what Homer told him that were the 2 best tips lol he just said its about hinging and not hinging and ball position... come on host guy why did you end that there!
I wish Dan Pohl would move out of the way!!!
