Book Review: The Big Three And Me - Billy Casper's Autobiography

Last Updated on Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:50 Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:25

alt

In the summer of 1955, fresh off a stint in the United States Navy, Billy Casper left his hometown of San Diego, California, to join the pro golf tour.

He was 24 years old, married, with a young daughter and not a dime to his name.

The new Buick he was driving and the house trailer it was pulling had been purchased by his two hometown backers, who in return would get thirty percent of everything Casper won, according to a contract drawn up on a napkin at the San Diego Country Club before he left.

They don't start legendary golf careers like that anymore.

In The Big Three and Me, Billy Casper's just-released autobiography, professional golf returns to its romantic, and considerably thriftier, roots – before the PGA Tour evolved, as Casper writes, "from house trailers to jets."

South Nine Publishing, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Published in 2011, $17.95

Review by Alfie Lau. www.twitter.com/AlfieLau

I'd never heard of Keith Gockenbach before I read his book and now I'm hoping he makes a comeback.

Gockenbach held a normal job until he became eligible for the Champions Tour. But with the encouragement of wife Lynn, he quit his job in 2004 and had a two, then three-year plan to succeed on the Champions Tour.

Jason Ross is a Seattle native who loves golf and his experiences teaching English in Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam.
