Mobi The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever with Free MOBI EDITION Download Now!

In 1956, a casual bet between two millionaires eventually pitted two of the greatest golfers of the era -- Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan -- against top amateurs Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi. The year: 1956. Decades have passed since Eddie Lowery came to fame as the ten-year-old caddie to U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet. Now a wealthy car dealer and avid supporter of amateur golf, Lowery has just made a bet with fellow millionaire George Coleman. Lowery claims that two of his employees, amateur golfers Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi, cannot be beaten in a best-ball match, and challenges Coleman to bring any two golfers of his choice to the course at 10 a.m. the next day to settle the issue. Coleman accepts the challenge and shows up with his own power team: Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, the game's greatest living professionals, with fourteen major championships between them. In Mark Frost's peerless hands, complete with the recollections of all the participants, the story of this immortal foursome and the game they played that day-legendarily known in golf circles as the greatest private match ever played-comes to life with powerful, emotional impact and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

I’m 60 years old and loved and played golf for over 20 years until severe back problems forced me to quit (along with all the other sports I love, especially running). I knew all four players in this story except for Harvie Ward, whom I had never heard of. Since the game the book is about took place in 1956, I wasn’t even born yet so I never saw any of the players play. But of course I knew who Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Ken Venturi were. Ken was still announcing golf on TV when I was younger and I knew Mr. Nelson as the old gentleman who would open the Masters with a ceremonial first drive. The only thing I knew about Ben Hogan’s life I learned from the movie “Follow The Sun”, which I didn’t realize was such a poorly shallow rehash of Hogan’s life. But that was really all I knew about them and it’s really a shame that you could live for 60 years, love golf and NOT know this story (or more about the men in it). I think I remember reading that they were making a movie based on this book but if not, they really should. The movie “The Greatest Game Ever Played”, based on the book of the same name (and coincidentally written by the same author) is the best golf movie in existence in my opinion. When I was a teenager, even Arnold Palmer was past his playing prime and so was Jack Nicklaus except for his amazing Masters victory at aged 47 (I can’t swear to his age but for an athlete he was old and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way at all). There is a postscript to this book and it was, for me at least, a must read. I’d recommend reading this book to the very end since it tells of the man and woman who actually designed and built Cypress Point. The guy who designed it also designed a little course called Augusta National. Buy this book and read it. You won’t regret it even if you don’t play golf. My only regret is that I didn’t know this story or about Cypress Point when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton early in my Marine Corps career. If I had, I would have made the drive just to see the course even if it wasn’t possible to play it.
