Follow Rory on FB, Linkedin, and on Twitter @GogBlogGuy.Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf - Round Two    Last Saturday at the Chicago Golf Show the “Merry Mex” Lee Trevino dropped in to talk with golfers. Trevino battled weather coming out of Dallas Texas to make his visit to Chicago. Trevino battled bad weather, three cancelled flights and more to make it in for the 32nd Chicago Golf Show.

A packed main stage area, that had every seat taken and a standing-room-only crowd greeted both Trevino and David Graham who joined Trevino on Stage.

Trevino and Graham took time to meet with the Hinsdale Central boys and girls golf teams that are the reigning Illinois State High School Champions. Both trevino and Graham told stories about life on the tour, Trevino talked about getting hit by lightning at Butler National during the Western Open, and his friend the late “Mr. Cub” Ernie Banks.

During a lunch break between both shows on stage, Trevino spoke with a small group of media and covered many golf topics from the “World of Lee.”
