Couples chats about his time with Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd and Tom Watson and which lessons stuck with him the most.
Lee Travino Floyd and Watson and they all gave me time Floyd probably the most Travino he was with Bridgestone for a while if he was here today yeah every free minute I would be sitting with him that right he just is a trip to me but
Floyd was more who taught me how to save a shot around we were at the shark shootout and we won but I butchered a couple times and so he looked at me he says how many Eagles you make this year cuz it was in season’s over yeah I said
I don’t know not many maybe 12 and he goes yeah 12 you play 25 tournaments you’re making 12 Eagles you’re trying to Eagle every part five make a four and it just stuck so now when I hit a two iron from 230 and I don’t cut it to the flag
And I hit it 40 feet I’m happy with it cuz sometimes you know a shot that looks pretty good and all of a sudden it trickles over and you’re in rough and you have no green and you make par you’re living yeah

I felt that. I’m livid when I make par too.
Course management, plain and simple. To bad it took me years to figure that out for myself.
An old man's hard on is disgusting. On a younger man it's so sexy.
I really hope Rory McIlroy sees this video, this is made for him. Stop chasing eagles and making bogey !!!
Learned this after 40 hrs of golf:) 18 at my club, easily reachable in 2, but sand front right, left. Trees, have to hit a perfect cut to hit the green. I pull it off 1 out of 30 tries, always make par when pin high in two,, now I lay up front and birdie 7 out of 10 times.
Right the most successful golfers don’t make many silly mistakes , sometimes you gotta take that bogie and move on
I also lean towards the right?
I'm not ready for this video, I haven't even started taking scores yet. It's too depressing, haha.
Did he say LIVid?
I just welly it as hard as I can.
Course management tip: check your ego at the gate and play the right tees.
Wtf is in his pants. Looks like he stuffed his pants
Golf is so hard
I think Fred is going commando!
What a classy crew and they don't make them like that anymore
Swing once….pleeeeeease? Freddy and David Duval, sweetest swings evuh
It’s like golf inflation hearing an older pro hit 2 iron 230. That’s a solid 5 iron for pros now
I’m never “livid” when I make par!! 😳😂
Always liked Fred.
I was fortunate enough to go to the Shark shootout in the early 90’s when Fred and Ray Floyd were partnered. Arnold was paired with Peter Jacobson, if I recall correctly, Jack Nicklaus was paired with Greg Norman. Other golfers there included Curtis Strange and Tom Watson.
Translated the advice is pick your spots for being aggressive. Dont have predetermined thoughts on what you want to do before getting to the ball.
That cialis kicking in 🤮
he’s the best cupcakes
Saw Mr. Couples at the Buick at Torrey Pines. We crossed paths and said hello to each other.🎉
Sometimes I get closer w 3rd from fairway. 😊
That 230 yard 2 iron shot is 🔥🔥🔥
I have it posted on my channel
Friend of mine played with Freddie once. He said Freddie gave him the best advice he ever got from a living legend. They met on the first tee. Freddie asked him, hi my name is Fred. Have I played with you on the PGA tour? Oh you aren’t a scratch golfer? Then what the hell are you doing playing the same tee as me? 😂. I see so many hackers each round playing from the back tees, the blue tees, when they should playing the whites. I’m talking about you as you read this.
