review: Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Fifty of the most famous and/or influential figures in the history of Lone Star State golf are rendered here in visual and verbal portraits. Sampson, a onetime golf pro and the author of The Eternal Summer , contributes brief anecdotal accounts, while Milosevich memorializes each subject with two drawings--one of head and shoulders, the other an action view. In addition to covering such renowned players as Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Lee Trevino, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Judy Rankin and Sandra Haynie, the book also includes important coaches--for example, Harvey Penick of the University of Texas and Dave Williams of the University of Houston. Even golf enthusiasts who have never been to Texas will enjoy the sprightly text and accomplished drawings. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
