Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An entertaining, perceptive, and hypnotically readable exploration of the greatest and most important year in golf history in America, from the bestselling author of Hogan and The Masters. In 1960, golf and its personalities exploded into the consciousness of the nation, when the past, present, and future of the sport collided. Here was Arnold Palmer, the working man's hero, "sweating, chain-smoking, shirt-tail flying"; Pen Hogan, the greatest player of the fifties, a perfectionist battling the twin demons of age and nerves; and, making his big-time debut, a crew-cut college kid who seemed to have the makings of a champion: twenty-year-old Jack Nicklaus. And, of course, the rest: Ken Venturi, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Doug Sanders, Gary Player, and the many other colourful characters who chased a little white ball - and a dream. Would Palmer win the mythical Grand Slam of golf? Could Hogan win one more major tournament! Was Nicklaus the real thing? Even more than an intimate portrait of these men and their exciting times, TheEternal Summer is also a brilliantly detailed exploration of professional golf in America. Was there ever a year in golf like 1960?

Would Palmer win the mythical Grand Slam of golf? Could Hogan win one more major tournament? Was Nicklaus the real thing?
