He's The Clown Prince Of Golf - Craziest Golf Trick Shots Of All Time

He's the Clown Prince of Golf. Paul Bumann makes the craziest golf trick shots of all time. He is the greatest golf trick shot expert in the world … depending on who you ask. Paul started as a “serious professional” making his way up the PGA ranks. Then he decided that golf isn’t that serious. That’s when he started focusing on the fun side of the game. Now he teaches golfers in ways that leave them laughing. .

When he hits the road from Columbus, Georgia his golf bag is literally a bag of tricks. Rubber-shafted drivers that flop around, smoking golf balls, 3-foot-high tees, a 6-foot driver … more than 50 tricks. Bumann has traveled to four continents, numerous countries, and has cris-crossed the U.S. just like he did on the PGA tour. In 1974 gave over 150 shows and traveled 300,000 miles. Somehow, he found the time to be the President of the Georgia PGA and was selected the Georgia PGA professional of the year in 1966, ’69, ’70 and ’71. I guess it all goes to show how successful you can be when you decide that golf isn’t that serious. This story aired on WSB-TV Channel 2 Action News in 1975.

The Traveler Series celebrates life and living in U.S. in the 1970s. Nostalgia, small towns, traditional life and the good old days. The stories give us ways to compare then and now. Folklore, music, handcrafts, vanishing America and unusual people. Heartwarming stories, funny stories, personal stories and amazing people are in this collection.

This story is presented for educational and preservation purposes and is covered under Fair Use. At the time it was broadcast the television station had a blanket music license with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. The station maintains that license today. All music used is covered under that agreement.
