Links, Lore, & Legends

Texas has produced golf stars whose names are familiar well beyond the state, including Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, Dave Marr, Ben Crenshaw, Lanny Wadkins, Sandra Haynie, and Rick Beem. Art Stricklin traces how the sport grew across the state, arranging the story by decade. Along the way he highlights key events, players, professionals, teachers, courses, and tournaments that shaped Texas golf.

The book also features a chapter on ten historic events that most readers will not have heard of, adding lesser-known episodes to the familiar champions and milestones.
