In the continuation of his masterpiece of sports writing, Herbert Warren Wind introduces readers to golf's boom era, and to the players and events that precipitated it. His graceful narrative opens with Byron Nelson's unprecedented streak of eleven consecutive wins and follows with the dramatic story of Ben Hogan, one of the handful of immortals who have defined the game of golf. When asked to comment on the secret of his success, Hogan, who had reached a level of perfection achieved by few others and was renowned for his perseverance and hard work, explained, "It's in the dirt".Turning to the 1950s and 1960s -- an era that saw golf's popularity explode -- Wind examines the advent of television and the arrival on the scene of some truly charismatic golfers whose games and personalities delighted fans. In combination, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus -- the Golden Bear -- and the perfect marriage of golf with the new medium in every household gave the sport its broadest appeal ever.

Accompanied by more than 200 vibrant full-color photographs and illustrations that illuminate the events and personalities it describes, The Story of American Golf, Volume Two is unequaled in its coverage of the game, and sure to appeal to every golfer and golf fan.
