From the Foreword by Arnold Palmer
In 1974 I met a young professional golfer from Kerrville, Texas and predicted he was going to be a winner. Forty years later, John Mahaffey has proved me right.
During his PGA career, John won ten tournaments, including the 1978 PGA and 1986 Players Championship. He was a member of the 1979 Ryder Cup as well as the 1978 and 1979 World Cups. And he was a winner on the Champions Tour, too.
John found a way to reinvent himself, from an accomplished PGA touring pro into a successful television golf analyst. Many have tried to make this transition, but not all have succeeded.
I m flattered that John would occasionally seek me out as a sounding board at critical points along his journey. We all need someone to talk to who's been down the road of life and golf before, but not everyone is willing to ask for help. Others were there for me, and I was pleased to try to be there for John and hopefully, I made some contribution.
I've really enjoyed reliving some of the stories John Mahaffey tells in Hogan's Boy, and loved reading the ones I didn't know before and you will, too. There's a lot of history and a lot of honesty in this book two of the things we love most about the game of golf.
