Beautiful footage
Byron Nelson group shot back middle white cap
great footage, thanks, what year is it? Looks like Peter Thomson at 4.32; maybe George Knudson in the pink trousers at 2.04
I just know the obvious ones Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Jimmy Demaret -all very distinctive. Possibly George Knudson from far away and maybe Tommy Aaron crossing the line with a driver. There's a bunch I have no clue about.
Great footage, thanks for sharing 👍
I agree that's Peter Thompson at 4:32, maybe Demaret in the background at 5:01. Could be Gene Littler in the red sweater.
They all had sweet swings that would last a lifetime. With current equipment you can go at it harder and that is why guys swing so hard today.
I think that is Peter Thomson in the pale blue jumper (the high left shoulder; and this is before he injured his left arm, it's straighter here) and I think it might be Cary Middlecoff in the visor (he often/always wore.one).
0:11 Byron Nelson in the Hogan outfit
Who’s the gentleman at 1:32 ?
Cary Middlecoff at 3:50
Snead, wesikopf, Nelson, Thompson
I love watching the old school naturalistic swings. Once video was common everybody started trying to copy someone else's swing. I think that ruined a lot of golfers.
Love watching these "old school" swings…How on earth did Sam not win a U.S. Open? Byron Nelson's head looked like it dropped a foot at impact…LOL…I did notice Peter Thomson near the end of the video and possibly Al Besselink as well..
When golf was king
This is pre 1960, Bob Toski is one of the players at :36. No Knudson, Weiskopf that I can see. Littler is at the end, he was on tour in mid 50's, which is when this was filmed. Byron and George Fazio are in the Hogan caps, guy in the pink pants at the end looks like Bob Hamilton, who won pga championship in late 1940's
I think 1:30 to 1:55 in the pink sweater is JIM TURNESA
