“Byron Nelson, in full John Byron Nelson, byname Lord Byron, (born February 4, 1912, near Waxahachie, Texas, U.S.—died September 26, 2006, Roanoke, Texas), American professional golfer who dominated the sport in the late 1930s and ’40s. Known for his fluid swing, he won a record 11 consecutive professional tournaments in 1945.
Nelson began as a caddie at the age of 12 and became a professional in 1932. He won the U.S. Open (1939), the Masters Tournament (1937 and 1942), and the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) Championship (1940 and 1945). The top U.S. money-winner in 1944 and 1945, Nelson finished in the money 113 consecutive times. During his record-setting 1945 season, he also won an unprecedented 18 out of 30 tour tournaments. Nelson, who was known as Lord Byron, received the Vardon trophy in 1939 for low scoring average. Almost mechanically accurate with his iron shots, he won the 1939 Western Open over the difficult Medinah No. 3 courses near Chicago without leaving the fairway once in 72 holes. A hemophiliac, he was exempt from military service during World War II.
After the 1946 season, Nelson essentially retired, only occasionally playing in tournaments. His career totals included 52 PGA titles. He remained involved in the sport, teaching several players, including Tom Watson, and serving as nonplaying captain of the Ryder Cup team in 1965. In addition, he also worked as a television commentator. Nelson was elected to the PGA Hall of Fame in 1953 and to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. In 1968 a PGA tournament in Irving, Texas, was renamed in his honor. Nelson’s autobiography, How I Played the Game, was published in 1993.”

Hi, I’m Yuri Tsvetkov, welcome to my channel. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, improve your golf skills, also to help you enjoy your golf more! I specialize in golf swing videos finding and making, golf enjoying, jokes making, life, and golf-loving. My last position is Golf Marshal in GORKI Golf & Resort. I was Head of Students & Family golf in the Regional Golf Association. During the 2019 golf season, I was involved in golf masterclasses and individual lessons. I also want to make you play better golf by providing video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons purer, hit your irons closer to the hole, and help you draw and fade your golf shots. I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping your duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer to the hale, and also create backspin. Also, I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts! As a Marshal, I know about other people’s games in real Tournaments more than most teaching Pros! Golf course strategy and overall coaching are my lovely subjects such as golf statistics and relative performance in different parts of game tee shorts, approaches, scrambling, long and short putting. On this channel, I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the truth about golf equipment.
