"Golf is a tough profession where few obtain the spotlight and even the strongest image fades after two or three seasons. Ken Venturi accomplished what is rare in sports and especially so in Golf: he overcame a four-year slump to win golf's biggest and most prestigious contest, the 1964 National Open at Washington, D.C. Months later he was struck by a rare disease of the hands that made it almost impossible for him to wield a club. An operation at the Mayo Clinic, a startling recovery, and subsequent tournament wins are all part of the story of this amazing man who today finds himself a permanent part of golfdom's distinguished hall of fame. This is the moving account of a man's faith in himself and his talent, and how it paved the way for his dramatic comeback." $22.50USD
