You included a brief article on the passing of Cesar Sanudo. Cesar was not only a great guy, but his skill at putting a special grind on golf club heads led to many players using what became known on the tour in the mid 70's as the "Sanudo Grind." This was in the days of the forged steel irons with chrome plating. Players that played and won with this "Sanudo Grind" on Ram Tour Grind irons included Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Nick Price, Mark Brooks, Jay Sigel, Peter Jacobsen, Ray Floyd and many others.
That was the new set of irons that Cesar had in his trunk that he "loaned" to Lee Trevino as mentioned in your article. Lee won about 4 tournaments with them and Cesar never got them back. We had to duplicate Cesar's grind on a new set for him.
Thanks, Jim. Our readers should know that Sanudo, a good friend of Trevino's, named one of his three children Lee. He played 19 years of professional golf and won once, in 1970 at the Azalea Open Invitation, but left a mark far greater than his playing record.
