Praise for Curt Sampson The Masters "Jack Nicklaus may own six green jackets, but no one has captured the Masters like Sampson." -The (Baton Rouge) Advocate "Sampson has put together a great story of a powerful institution." --austin.citysearch.com "[Curt Sampson's] fine new book, The Masters, is the only way we mortals are ever going to gain entrée to the hallowed Augusta National Golf Club." --The Dallas Morning News Hogan "Curt Sampson has dissected Ben Hogan and what he is about in greater detail than anyone. This is a fascinating look at perhaps the most feared and revered golfer of all time." --Ben Crenshaw "A superb and insightful portrait of the most elusive and complex champion in golf history . . . worth every damn cent you're asked for it." --Guy Yocom, Golf Digest "Rings true as a Hogan iron to the green." --Sam Blair, The Dallas Morning News The Eternal Summer "I must congratulate Curt Sampson for his passion for the game as well as his skill with a pen. . . . The Eternal Summer will make you feel like you are there at Augusta, Cherry Hills, St. Andrews, and many other places. I know. I was there." --Dan Jenkins "Moving, vivid, and funny . . . never a dull moment. . . . The Eternal Summer is the most enjoyable book on any subject I've read in a long time." --Jack Purcell, Jr., publisher, Southern Links "Nineteen-sixty was as interesting a year in golf as I've ever known. Curt Sampson has captured it perfectly and perceptively. This book should be in every golfer's library." --Ben Wright, CBS-TV

Synopsis
The book opens with the extraordinary story of Young Tommy Morris. He won the British Open in 1869, 1870, and 1871. There was no Open in 1872 -- because there was no doubt about who the greatest player in the world was. Tommy won again in 1873 and '74. Then, in 1875, he was leading a tournament when his father received a telegram in the middle of the round. He didn't tell Tommy what the telegram said, he waited until the game was over and Tommy had won yet again. Then he revealed the news: Tommy's wife had died during childbirth. Tommy's life -- and his golf game -- was never again the same. Just a few years later, the greatest British Open champion in history died -- of a broken heart.Curt Sampson, as he did in The Masters, tells an amazing history of an amazing tournament. There are stories of great champions and rounds past, tales of murders and ghosts, reminiscences from stars and journeymen.The focus of the book is the 1999 championship -- the greatest tournament in British Open history. Sampson focuses on several players as they prepare for the tournament, among them Steve Elkington, an icy classicist; Andrew Magee, a good-looking bon vivant; Clark Dennis, desperately hanging on to the tour by his fingernails; and Zane Scotland, the youngest Open qualifier in a century. We see what they do to prepare and how they think as they play.Ultimately, this past year's championship came down to the best players in the world trying to beat the toughest co
