Amazing dancer!!!!

 

[NitNE73]

I have tried teeing up five balls and hitting them like Fred did at the end of the clip. A golf pro recommended doing that as a way to stay loose in the swing. It's not as easy as it looks!

 

[PSU73]

That is quite impressive. I think I'll try that this Spring. When I’m done I’m sure my golf buddies will be amazed and contused.

 

[MtNittany]

He's in near perfect position at impact in every swing.

to do that, he was clearly a great athlete. I counted, maybe, four of five clips. In those days, you couldn't splice and blend images.....so I am pretty sure the first half of that was all one take....pretty darned impressive by any standard.

I love dance, and have posted this many times. It is James Cagney dancing down the steps....impersonating George M. Cohan in the movie Yankee Doodle Dandy

I know there's a misspelling there, but I'm not sure if it should be "confused" or "concussed."

Observant you are. It was intentional. However...my buddies may be concussed as well, but it didn't rhyme with confused.

He is. I'll bet he had a single digit handicap.
