Description
The Match by Mark Frost In 1956, a bold challenge was issued to the golfing world. Two salesmen, Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi, were claimed to be unbeatable in a best ball match. Their claims were met with skepticism, but the stakes were high enough to bring together some of the greatest golfers of the time. The result was a private match that would be remembered for years to come. The story of this extraordinary event is told in vivid detail, drawing on the recollections of all the participants. With the match itself as the backdrop, the author explores the personalities, rivalries, and motivations of the golfers involved. The result is a gripping and insightful account of a moment in golfing history that continues to fascinate readers today. This book is a fascinating look at the world of golf in the 1950s, and the people who shaped it.
