Six-time major championship winner Lee Trevino begins his story with a few hilarious tales involving him and Bruce Devlin before he takes us back to his humble upbringing in Texas. Raised by his mother and grandfather, Lee was self-taught as a golfer but undisciplined as a young man. Entering the Marine Corps at age 17 was a life-changing experience for Lee and it wasn't until age 23 that he began to take the game more seriously. He hadn't heard of Jack Nicklaus when the PGA came to the Dallas Athletic Club in 1963. Qualifying for the 1966 U.S. Open at Olympic Club provided him with an opportunity to see elite players first-hand. We finish with Lee and Bruce speaking about their good friend David Graham and the origin of his nickname, "DOG." Lee Trevino recounts his early life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
