Life of Lee Trevino

Lee Trevino is one of the best golfers in the world, especially since he taught himself how to play. Lee once said that "There is no such thing as a natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls”. (Brent Kelley About.com) This proves that if you really want to do something you can set your mind to it and do it without anyone else. If I could use some adjectives to describe Lee Trevino it would probably be, ambitious, gregarious, and joyful. I think these adjectives best describe Trevino because he has been struck by lighting, taught himself to play golf, and he has always been so happy about it. He has always been so happy and playful that even his fans gave him the nickname “Merry Mex” because he was so happy and he’s Mexican. But Lee Trevino was …show more content…

Even though Lee had a “baseball-like swing”, but that didn’t stop him from getting a golf equipment named after him, and winning all these awards. Lee was also in the Marines for, four years and he loved it. He would play at golf matches when he was there, but his love for golf was so strong he wanted to go on and pursue his love for it. At the 1975 Western Open he got stuck by lighting but was still practicing golf in the hospital! I think it is amazing that even though he has been through so much he has fought through it because he didn’t want to give up golf. Lee once said "I 've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years. I 've traveled the world and been about everywhere you can imagine. There 's not anything I 'm scared of except my wife."

Lee Trevino has always inspired people, whether your golfer or not that you can do anything you want to do. If Lee Trevino had never been born then it might never have inspired kids to not give up on what the want to do. Lee was such a great golfer he was elected for the World Golf Hall Of Fame in 1981, and he will always be a great
