"The Match" - great read

[ManinBlack]

Never seen this book mentioned on the forum before. It's a story about a match between Ben Hogan & Brown Nelson against two amateurs, Ken Venturi & Harvie Ward. The match was played at Cypress point in 1956 and, in addition to a blow by blow account of an incredible match, there is a lot of history about the development of the course & the lives of the players.

Very interesting to anyone as old as I am, who vaguely remembers these players when they were playing.

A good read indeed. Recommend it for anyone who wants a golf book for their hols (or indeed any other time).
