  Calvin Peete - Golf's Forgotten...

  His story is unprecedented in the world of golf. Born to a family of migrant laborers, Calvin Peete dropped out of school in the eighth grade, went to work picking crops, first swung a golf club at the age of twenty-three—and rose to the top of the PGA. 
   
   
   
  In Calvin Peete: Golf's Forgotten Star, Gordon Hobson tells for the first time Peete's incredible story. Hobson recounts how, when Peete joined the lily-white PGA tour in 1976, he stood out from the competition in more ways than one. Peete wasn't raised in country clubs and didn't learn the game at prestigious golf universities. He had a permanently bent left elbow and practiced endless hours in a public park to develop one of the most accurate swings in the history of golf. He endured years of futility and despair, but, eventually, he emerged as the best player on the Tour from 1982–86. 
   
   
   
  Calvin Peete's story is inspiring, but it also reveals the struggles many Black golfers endured even after the Caucasian-only clause was removed from the PGA's bylaws. He may have won twelve championships, played on the US Ryder Cup team twice, and won the prestigious Vardon Award, but the road to success wasn't easy. Calvin Peete: Golf's Forgotten Star shows how, even without the advantages some people are born into, one can find success through hard work, determination, and fortitude.

  Golf is a sport deeply rooted in tradition and technique, making it essential to build a solid foundation before advancing to more complex skills. Understanding the basics ensures you not only enjoy the game but also improve steadily over time. 
  To begin, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the history of golf and how it has evolved into the game we know today. Golf’s origins date back several centuries, with Scotland being widely regarded as the birthplace of the modern game. Knowing this background fosters an appreciation for the traditions and etiquette that define the sport. 
  Equipping yourself with the right gear is another key step in mastering the basics. Golf clubs come in a variety of types, including drivers, irons, wedges, and putters, each designed for specific shots. Understanding their functions and learning how to select the right club for each situation can significantly impact your game. Beyond clubs, you’ll also need to consider golf balls, shoes, gloves, and apparel suited to different weather conditions. 
  Rules and etiquette form the backbone of golf, emphasizing respect for the game, the course, and fellow players. Learning the rules is not only about avoiding penalties but also about ensuring smooth and enjoyable play. Key principles include maintaining pace of play, repairing divots, and marking your ball on the green. Golf etiquette highlights the importance of courtesy, such as remaining quiet during another player’s swing and waiting your turn to hit.

  Larry Csonka ran the football with audacity and authority. He lived his off-the-field life with equal abandon. As part of the NFL's 100th Anniversary, he and his undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins teammates were named the best team in NFL history. 
   
   
   
  In Head On, Csonka shares how they achieved their legendary Perfect Season. From quitting football at a young age, to his often-combative relationship with Coach Don Shula, to brazen exploits with his NFL pals, Csonka narrates a life that is colorful, unbridled, and thrilling. 
   
   
   
  Csonka found himself hanging out with Burt Reynolds, Dick Butkus, Lee Majors, Joe Namath, and Elvis Presley during his football years. But his moments outside the spotlight reveal the most about this larger-than-life figure—raising critters and a little hell in his formative years on an Ohio dirt farm, early run-ins with the law, confronting thieves with a sawed-off shotgun, taking sniper fire on a USO tour of Vietnam, and being adrift at night on the Bering Sea with gale-force winds raging. 
   
   
   
  Csonka's Head On is a captivating account of grit, grace, and gumption told by an iconic Hall of Famer who continues to gain ground—figuratively, literally, and unapologetically—every day.
