Joe Inman told me once that Lee's sound at impact was unmistakeable and different than most.
Unmistakeable and very MEMORABLE! In 1965 or 66 (yup..roughly 40 years ago)I attended what was then the Ford Thunderbird at Westchester CC. I had passes for the whole week (golf wasn't as popular then as now). I saw Jack, Arnie, Tommy Bolt, Doug Sanders, Homero Blancas, a young Kermit Zarley, Bob Murphy, Sam Snead... a whole slew of guys including Lee Buck. Everyday we got there pretty early and went to the practice tee and then afterwards we tried to stop at the practice tee again... I only saw Lee Buck Trevino hit balls ONCE in person on the practice tee and I have never heard that sound again in my life. I can't recall who won the Ford Thunderbird that year... but I can recall that sound.
In the ensuing years I have been to many other tournaments and watched VJ, Tiger, Daly, Mickelson ...you name it...they don't make that sound.
