From the best selling author of The Greatest Game Ever Played is this powerful, emotional and suspenseful story of "the greatest private match ever played." The challenge was staged in 1956 by Eddie Lowery, former 10-year old caddie to U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet, and pitted amateurs Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi against Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, the game's greatest living professionals, with 14 major championships between them. In author Mark Frost's peerless hands, the recollections of this immortal foursome and the game they played that day come to life.

Another great story that I'm glad to know
| Customer Rating: | | If you've enjoyed any of Mr. Frost's other books about golf and golfers (Grand Slam, The: Bobby Jones, America, and the Story of Golf or The Greatest Game Ever Played: A True Story) you will enjoy this one just as much. It's hard to believe this match actually happened. Mr. Frost really brings the story to life, with his usual style, deftly using suspense and interesting narrative that makes you feel like you were right there with the guys during this (now) famous match. The research behind the story must have been a monumental task, especially since many of the principles are no longer living and the match was not broadcast at the time. It is clear that Mark Frost loves the game of golf; its history, the players, the competition, and the compelling stories that have arisen from this greatest game ever played. |
