From Library Journal
During the 1960 U.S. Open, three of the most dominant golfers in history (Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus) competed against each other in an extremely close contest. Hogan was the experienced golfer, Palmer the young challenger, and 20-year-old Nicklaus was a relative unknown. Graubert, who has written for Golf Journal, offers here a definitive account of this tense tournament and its historical significance. While the impact of the 1960 U.S. Open is perhaps legendary in the golfing community, this nongolfing reviewer found the account extremely tedious and overly full of details. If any work needed abridging, this would be it. Tom Parker provides a competent but somewhat lackluster narration. Recommended only where silver-haired golf fanatics are legion.?Ray Vignovich, West Des Moines P.L., IA

From AudioFile
The 1960 U.S. Open. Cherry Hills. Denver, Colorado. In the field were the day's top performers, all legends now. At the start of the last round, one of golf's other greats was seven strokes off the pace, virtually out of the running. His name, Arnold Palmer. He called the score he had to shoot in the locker room, came out with fire in his eyes, birdied six of the first seven holes and carried the day by two strokes. Arnie's famous "charge" was indicative of the man who would single-handedly thrust the sport to a level of popularity it had never known. Tom Parker's engaging voice keeps us enthralled, and Blackstone Audiobooks's packaging and presentation are, as always, first-class. M.D.B.
