Book excerpt: There has never been a golfer to rival Arnold Palmer. He's the most aggressive, most exciting player the game has ever known, a dynamo famous for coming from behind to make bold last-minute charges to victory. To the legions of golf fans known around the world as "Arnie's Army," Palmer is a charismatic hero, the winner of sixty-one tournaments on the PGA Tour and still going strong on the Senior PGA Tour. But behind the legend, there is the private Palmer--a man of wit, compassion, loyalty, and true grit in the face of personal adversity. Golf-crazy as far back as he can remember, Arnie followed his dad, "Deacon" Palmer, the head greenskeeper, around the Latrobe Country Club fairways; as a youth he played at dawn before the club members arrived (the only time he was allowed on the course); by the time he graduated from high school he was headed for the national circuit. His rise to fame was meteoric, and by the 1960s he had emerged as one of the few American athletes the public truly cared about--a vibrant, daring, handsome sports celebrity who attracted wild crowds and enormous television audiences whenever he played and whose charisma propelled the explosion of enthusiam for golf in the sixties. Writing with the humor and candor that are as much his trademark as his unique golf swing, Palmer narrates the deeply moving story of his life both on and off the links. He recounts his friendships (and rivalries) with greats of the game, including Jack Nicklaus, his enduringly happy marriage with Winnie, his legendary charges to triumph and his titanic disasters, and his valiant battle against cancer. Returning to the Senior PGA Tour with unmatched zeal after his recovery, Palmer reminded fans of his unfaltering heroism--and the world of golf is thankful. From small-town boy to golfing legend, Arnold Palmer has lived one of the great sporting lives of the twentieth century. Now, with the help of acclaimed golf writer James Dodson, he has created one of the great sports autobiographies of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter C. Hagen and Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones Jr. were the two greatest golfers of the Golden Age of Sports, the 1920s. Both were international sports heroes, and together they did more than anyone else to establish golf as a popular sport in the United States. Yet their lives could have hardly been more different. "Sir Walter" was a professional; "Mr. Jones" an amateur. The son of German immigrants, Walter was from a nothern working class family; Bobby was born to a prominent, established southern family. Sir Walter entered the world of golf as a caddie; Mr. Jones as the son of a club member. Hagen dropped out of school by age twelve; Jones acquired degrees from Georgia Tech and Harvard before entering Emory's law school and passing the Georgia bar. Sir Walter's golf style was unconventional; Mr. Jones's was classic. Hagen seemed to embrace the so-called "roaring" side of the 1920s; Jones generally modeled old-fashioned values. If not for golf, their paths would likely never have crossed. Here for the first time is a thoroughly researched, chronological biography of both Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones. Skillfully weaving their stories into one, author Stephen Lowe tracks the lives of Hagen and Jones and recounts their famous competitions. Through these famous golfers Lowe reminds us once again of the constant tension between the old and the new -- between continuity and change -- that has so deeply marked twentieth century American life.

Download or read book Arnie written by Tom Callahan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this definitive biography, veteran sportswriter Tom Callahan shines a spotlight on one of the greatest golfers ever to play the game, Arnold Palmer. The winner of more than ninety championships, including four Masters Tournaments, Arnold Palmer was a legend in twentieth century sports: a supremely gifted competitor beloved for his powerful hitting, his nerve on the greens, and his great rapport with fans. Perhaps above all others, Palmer was the reason golf’s popularity exploded, as the King of the links helped define golf’s golden age along with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. In addition to his talent on the golf course, Palmer was a brilliant entrepreneur off it, and one of the first sportsmen to create his own successful marketing brand. Forging an alliance with sports agent Mark McCormick, Palmer parlayed his popularity into lucrative deals, and helped pave the way for the multi-million-dollar contracts that have become standard for stars across all sports. But beyond his business acumen, Palmer was always a larger-than-life character, and Arnie recounts a host of unforgettable anecdotes from a long life in the spotlight. Tom Callahan knew Palmer well for many years, and now pays tribute to this golfing icon. Filled with great stories from the key people in Palmer’s life, Arnie is an entertaining and illuminating portrait of a remarkable man and his extraordinary legacy.
