Tremendous clubhead speed and overall focus/tenacity. 

Ian Woosnam drinking stories are unlike any you've ever heard.  Trust me, it was beer and whisky

Indeed.

All I know is he could swing it.  Maybe the booze improved his game. Some say Poe wrote a lot of his works while partaking in "other" activities.  Edgar was obviously quite talented.

He was a great ball striker.  One of the purest in the game at the time.  Modern equipment neutralized his advantages but by the time frying pan drivers and juiced golf balls came about, he was on the decline, though he made a run at the '01 Open.  And the booze don't help

Couldn't keep track of how many clubs were in his bag.

He did have a great career.

He was #1 in the world for a little while.

When I lived in Chicago, one of the guys in our regular weekly game was small in stature (maybe 5-4) but he had a great swing and routinely hit it 260-plus, and usually right down the middle. Great irons and short game, too. We called him Woosie.

At first he didn't like the nickname, but after a while he grew to like it and even started referring to himself by it. Like he'd call and say, "Hey, it's Woosie." Cracked me up.
