The Passing of a Golf Legend - Byron Nelson

[lagster]

I know a gentleman that played the tour in the late 50's, 60's, and early 70's. He said Mr. Nelson would occasionally play an event. He got to know Mr. Nelson. As I recall, he said Mr. Nelson was very willing to talk to players that wanted to speak with him about golf, the golf swing, etc.. He was evidently a very good, and nice man.

I was watching TGC last night....

I knew he retired at age 34...

What I didn't realize was that it was the year after his 18 win (including 11 in a row) season.

Craziness!!!!
