  • Nice!!

  • Just so you know, this scene WAS all filmed continuously, and after the scene, when the crew went to retrieve the golf balls, to their astonishment they found all the balls within eight feet of each other. Proven fact!

  • apprartently he did it all in one take at 9 30 in the morning, just walk on teh set and said right and did it!!!!!!!!! 

  • Such poise - Fred is a great example that people from all sports can benefit from copying.

  • that is pretty impressive...much better then tiger bouncing a ball on a wedge...lol

  • Listen to the club excellerate as it comes to the ball. I remember even when i was a kid and saw this how impressive it was. Now knowing a little about golf I appreciate how truly phenomenal it is. thanks for posting it

  • I read in a book I bought about ten years ago that after the dance routine, when the crew went to pick up the balls, all four of Astaire's iron shots ended up within about twenty feet from one another and all five of his tee shots ended up about thirty or forty feet from each other. I'm not kidding. I'll try to find the name of the book, if I still have it.

  • WOAH! This guy could win a Major for fun!

  • I show this clip to the javelin throwers I coach to let them see real rhythm in action. Talk about correct application of forces in a relaxed manner!

  • Fantastic. That, my friends, is a golf swing.

  • this is honestly one of the most impressive things ive ever seen

  • ridiculous...i'm gonna start dancing on the course!

  • ive tried and this aint easy

  • Awesome!

  • Super toll, wünschte ich könnte das auch!!!!!!!!!

  • Pure Greatness !

  • Fred had a great golf swing..

    His use of vertical and horizontal ground pressures is better than most tour pros we see today. The heavier clubs of the past required more force grounding into the feet, and who better to do that than Astaire!

    Bravo Great One!

  • Tiger could not do this. But no one else can either. Fred was one of a kind and has no equal. I miss him along with a slew of others.

  • Thats is bloody brilliant..I love how he really gets his front heel lifted and then plants it down through impact...

    For sure that should be a NIKE commercial.

  • Tiger who???

    THAT, my friends, should be a Nike commercial!

  • It's still not as impressive as that video of Milton Berle hitting a ball WITHOUT a club.

  • Amazing!!!!

  • Talk about poetry in motion!

  • This is one time when the overused word "amazing" really applies! Yet another demonstration of Astaire's perfect coordination and sense of rhythm. And NO cgi . . .

    BTW, YouTube resolution is too low to show it but when he's driving that series of balls at the end, he is really booming them. Mr. Astaire loved to play The Game.

  • legend

  • Stunning ... and clever too! Wonder if Tiger could do this?

  • WOW

  • Absolutely brilliant!!

  • no wonder he was sucha great golf as well as dancer.

  • awesome
