Calvin Peete: Golf's Forgotten Star - Hardcover

by Gordon Hobson (Author)

Calvin Peete is the first-ever biography of an often-overlooked PGA star, one of the best Black golfers in history. His story is unprecedented in the world of golf: born to a family of migrant laborers, Peete dropped out of school, went to work picking crops, first swung a golf club at the age of 23--and rose to the top of the PGA.
