The year: 1956. Four decades have passed since Eddie Lowery came to
fame as the 10-year-old caddie to U.S. Open Champion Francis
Ouimet. Now a wealthy car dealer and avid supporter of amateur
golf, Lowery boasts to George Coleman--an equally important figure
in gold circles and a fellow millionaire--that two of his car
salesmen are the best players in the world. These two, U.S. Amateur
champion Harvie Ward and up-and-coming star Ken Venturi, could beat
any two golfers in the world in a best ball match, he claims.
Coleman asks Lowery how he plans to prove it, and Lowery puts his
money where his mouth is: Bring any two golfers of your choice to
the course at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning, he tells Coleman, and we'll
settle the issue--for a substantial amount of cash. Coleman shows
up, all right--with Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, the game's greatest
living professionals, with 14 major championships between them. In
Mark Frost's peerless hands, complete with the recollections of all
the participants, the story of this immortal foursome and the game
they played that day--legendarily known in golf circles as the
greatest private match ever played--come to life with powerful
emotional impact and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
