Golf Nuts,
As I mentioned recently, due to my shoulder surgery in February, I’m unable to play or practice for a few more months. So, with nothing much else to do, I decided to go through old newspaper and magazine articles that I’ve saved for over fifty years. It was a lot of fun. So much fun, in fact, that I’ve decided to share some of my favorites.
Following is the first: the April 1984 Sports Illustrated story Searching for a Sea of Tranquility about the inimitable Mac O’Grady. If you were around the game at that time, you will remember that O’Grady blasted onto the scene like a comet and disappeared almost as quickly. Below is a multiple page scan from that issue of Sports Illustrated:
I hope you enjoyed the read. I certainly did when I read it again for the first time in over 40 years.
More “Looking Back” coming soon!

It's always fun to read stories of the players I grew up with. I too, have a small collection of Golf Digest from Sept 1978 - Mar 1980. I sometimes spend a rainy afternoon reading the advertisements "Prostaff won more in 1978 than even Titleist" ... and the articles "Can Ben Crenshaw ever fulfill his potential?"
