The front nine of NBC Sports 1985 Skins Game of golf provided highlights well worth the price of admission to see this video…..cuz they feature some spectacular shots like when Supermex almost holed his second shot at the par 4 third hole….while being within 2 inches of the cup for a basically gimme birdie…..only to have Jack Nicklaus cover Trevino’s birdie with one of his own…..with a 40 foot putt from off the fringe of the green…..then Zoeller scares the hole with his 2nd shot only to make birdie and win a skin….which was followed by Trevino when his 2nd shot on the 6th hole dropped into the cup from 75 yards off the green to win a $55,000 carryover skin….along with Arnold Palmer’s birdie hole for a $25,000 skin.
Any way you cut the pie, this video with the front nine highlights of the 1985 Skins Game provide another “nugget of gold” in our treasure chest of vintage memories here at ImaSportsphile.
