The instant "New York Times "bestseller from acclaimed "Sports Illustrated" writer Michael Bamberger a warm, nostalgic, intimately reported account of golf s greatest generation, and maybe the best golf book I ve ever read (Bill Reynolds, "The Providence Journal"). With exceptional insight into some of America s greatest players over the last half-century ("The Philadelphia Inquirer"), "Men in Green "is to golf what Roger Kahn s "The Boys of Summer "was to baseball: a big-hearted account of the sport s greats, from the household names to the private legends, those behind-the-curtain giants who never made the headlines. Michael Bamberger, who has covered the game for twenty years at "Sports Illustrated," shows us the big names as we ve never seen them before: Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Curtis Strange, Fred Couples and the late Ken Venturi.
