Video clip taken from one of my Dad’s old tapes. After missing all of his chips, a spectator says “this one’s worth $100” (at the 8:10 mark) as Byron is about to swing…and he sinks it!

Nice shot Byron. As always, the ball went right into the cup, where it belongs. Good job.
D.A. Weibring invited him to a charity outing at Qincy,Illinois country club. He was in his 80's but could still play and charm an audience. He also had a champions sharp edge and showed it to the He and D.A's opponents Billy Ray Brown and Dan Pohl. Poll was short and stocky and hit his tee shots consistently 30 yards past everyone.
"This one worth a hundred," he says and then promptly chips it directly into the hole, cbatising himself and honing his mind after a little bit of self misgivings about his previous shots going too long. Like that's easily solved just make the hole get in the way. Of course it was slightly fortuitous, nonetheless brilliant competitor spirit. Today's generation may have been chipping it in for a million but the competitive spirit remains preeminent amongst champions. I guess 100 dollars was serious dough in the 20s and 30s. Gentleman and golfing legend Byron Nelson was still spritely and gifted into his later years.
Golf idol. 😊
lee trevino chipping
What a great moment when he holes it 😊
Even on this old video, notice how crisp the contact sounds.
What an absolute legend of a man
This footage is priceless. That cattle rancher from Texas could sure play the game.
Something’s don’t change “let the club go though” and “woman can’t judge distance well as men” PRICELESS
Pleasure to watch: Thank You!
As soon as you mention money , its game on !!! What a great player !!
Don't know why that appeared in my recommendations but what a joy, thanks for sharing !
A gentleman, fierce competitor, and a Texas legend. We miss you Byron.

That's how winners do it. Playing around then the stakes get raised and boom your out a Hundo. Well done old sir.
cheapskate
0:55 These people rudely walk in front of Byron during the taping of this video presentation.
master
i did a tiny little body move back and through and tried cutting the grass below the ball chipping today and had 4 or five one putts because of it and my other chips were a little long or short but all were at least on the green puttable, thanks for awesome post and thank you Byron
This is great!

What a humble personality! Great!
Hey man, thanks for posting this. This texas gentlemen was a jem.
Really good quality from an old tape. Good lesson from the old Texan. Thanks.
That is early TPC Las Colinas.
This video is more about talent than technique. I'll bet Nelson could have used his driver or his putter to hit those shots, and it would have worked out well for him. You might ask, why do you write talent instead of technique, and I'd answer, "because he doesn't mention how valuable the bounce on a sand wedge is when hitting those shots out of scruffy lies".
Brian Nelson's waz so good they named a machine after him.Iron Brian.
That lesson was worth the $100. He should have paid up. Thank you for posting this vid.
byron actually finished 5th in the 1937 british open lol
Best ending ever, lol
you can see he has great hands , can't buy that !
i can hear the compression
The most gracious gentleman I have ever had the honor to meet. I see 1 Thumbs Down above. 1 misfit out of 84 is not bad. 1 idiot out of 84 is amazing.
Pure hustler!! LOL. Didn't call him Iron Byron for nothing
That cheapskate needed to pay up! Byron Nelson – what a legend. Thanks for uploading. Would love to see the other 10 minutes – even if it is boring. This is important historical and informative footage.
this was awesome.
I chipped in for a birdie after learning the throwing a coin motion. Thank you.
Time to pony up the C-note!
what a treat
Do you have the rest of the clinic?
