A Feel for the Game

release date: May 07, 2002
A Feel for the Game
With two Masters Championships, nineteen career PGA victories, three NCAA Championships, and millions in earnings, Ben Crenshaw is without question one of the most successful golfers of the century. But Crenshaw's claim to fame goes beyond his individual performances. As captain of the 1999 Ryder Cup team, Crenshaw confronted the largest deficit in tournament history–and the skepticism of commentators who suggested that he was the wrong man to manage the team in today's dog-eat-dog, mindgame world of match-play golf. Twenty-four hours later, Crenshaw proved all the critics wrong. In a hard-fought competition that kept viewers glued to their televisions, he brilliantly motivated a team of diverse personalities and, in the most thrilling match in Ryder Cup history, brought the Cup back to American soil. And he did it his way–with grace, honor, dedication, and an encyclopedic knowledge of how the game should be played. A Feel for the Game is Crenshaw's warm tribute to golf and its traditions. He describes his early years learning the game from famed golf guru Harvey Penick, and takes readers through his career as an outstanding amateur to his glorious years on the PGA Tour, culminating in the climactic Ryder Cup victory. He introduces the players and teachers who have inspired him, from Penick and Bobby Jones to Jackie Burke, Tom Kite, and Payne Stewart. His reminiscences, his fascinating glimpses into golf history, and his unparalleled understanding of the nuances of play make this an engaging personal portrait of a man and a game that were made for each other.

The Hogan Mystique

release date: Jan 01, 1994
The Hogan Mystique
Classic photographs of the great Ben Hogan by Jules Alexander; Essays by Dave Anderson, Ben Cranshaw and Dan Jenkins with commentary by Ken Venturi; To serious golfers the name Ben Hogan conjures up thoughts of technical perfection in the golf swing. For generations of golfers, Hogan's golf swing has been the ultimate -- the one to emulate, the standard by which all others are judged. To this day, golf's greatest teachers still use Hogan as the model. This book began simply as a collection of the wonderful black-and-white photographs that Jules Alexander took of Mr Hogan at the 1959 US open at Winged Foot. What has evolved is a celebration of Ben Hogan featuring a collection of original essays by many contributors. Ken Venturi, the long-time CBS golf analyst and close friend of Mr Hogan's, provides the running commentary accompanying the photographs.
