	Bobby Locke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bobby Locke (b 20 November 1917 Germiston, South Africa, d March 9, 1987) was one of the first internationally successful South African golfers.
		Locke built his success around his outstanding putting ability, coining the phrase "You drive for show, but putt for dough." Wearing his trademark knickers, white shoes, and stockings, Locke played the game at a slow and deliberate pace, perhaps another reason that American pros were annoyed with him.
		In 1959, Locke was involved in a serious car accident, and subsequently he suffered from migraines and eye problems that put an end to his competitive career.

	Locke's Career
		Locke was famous for his deliberateness on the course, as well as for his accent, his odd clothing (tie, plus-fours, touring cap), and his strange-looking swing that typically lofted soaring hook shots that landed gently on the green and rolled pin high.
		Locke's grip was the same he used in the full swing, an overlapping grip, with his thumbs straight down on the shaft.
		Locke also concentrated on feeling the putterhead, and for this he never varied his hand position on the grip or his stance, regardless of the length of the putt.

		Over six feet tall with a stocky build in his adult years; Bobby Locke was definitely “pre-fitness trailers.” In fact, if you had encountered him by chance on the golf course and hadn’t seen his swing, you would have taken him for a 20 handicapper.
		Bobby Locke was a top-level player, but he faced what he termed jealousy, and lots of it along the way to the top.

		Locke never again played golf at levels of virtuosity, and he would descend, in later years, to behavior inexplicable to anyone who had known his courtesies.

		Then there is his record in the British Open; Locke won it four times, a total exceeded by only three others.
		Locke wasn't preoccupied with dissecting his technique; he was an artist and once advised, "Swing the putterhead through the ball at the same pace you took it back." Seeing that Locke holed every putt in sight -- or at least seemed to -- one would expect others to imitate his method.
