Sir Walter

"Contained within these pages is the first comprehensive biography of Walter Hagen, the man who virtually created professional golf and was its most flamboyant champion. Award-winning sports writer, Tom Clavin, has penned a thrilling biography that recalls Hagen’s dazzling achievements and the qualities that made him a star. Hagen was an energetic, witty man who loved to party, was extraordinarily generous to his friends, and traveled the world over giving exhibitions. Hagen was the first to admit playing not only for the love of the game, but for love of the winner’s purse. It was the competitive, glamorous spirit that made this superbly gifted player the forerunner of today’s sports superstars – and one of the most compelling golfers the world has ever seen."
