Buzz Taylor arrived several decades later. Still, he is a Chicagoland millionaire who has been attacked for being aloof to the needs and wishes of average golfers. These broadsides, it can be argued, are patently unfair, given Taylor's service and dedication to golf. He has, for example, been a quiet and extremely effective leader of the USGA grants program. Furthermore, taking the proper historical perspective, Taylor's golf equipment crusade can be seen as another of the controversies that have inhabited American golf from the beginning.
History repeats itself, in golf as in life.
