Description: Was there ever a year in golf like 1960? Here were Arnold Palmer, the working mans hero, often winning with a last-second charge; grim Ben Hogan, the greatest player of the 1950s, battling the twin demons of age and nerves; and a debuting college kid with the makings of a champion, Jack Nicklaus.

Review Quotes:
"If you don't appreciate the summer of 1960, don't call yourself a golfer. The Eternal Summer is what professional golf used to be and should be--colorful, exciting, and memorable."
