The Old Man: The Biography of Walter J. Travis

Without a doubt, Walter Travis was one of golf's most interesting and eccentric people. He took up golf in 1896, at the age of 35. Over the next eight years--often competing against players half his age--he won the U.S. Amateur three times. He drank whiskey with gusto, played golf with a cigar in his mouth, and once shot a 62. - Before he died in 1927, Travis authored two best sellers on the game, and was the designer of over 40 layouts, and a leading expert on course maintenance.Bob Labbance is the author of 'The Old Man: The Biography of Walter J.
