Do yourself a favor and give it a read....Jackie may ruffle a few feathers but he's a straight shooter who says more in one sentence than many do in a day.
Full Version: IT'S ONLY A GAME by Jackie Burke, Jr.
There aren't more than a handful of guys whose life experience encompasses so much of what we all revere as golf's magnificence. Jack Burke, Jr. is one. Who else can claim spending long hours breaking bread and talking golf with the likes of Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Jack Grout, John Bredemus, Harvey Penick, Dr. Cary Middlecoff, and the great Bobby Jones??? Who along with Jimmy Demerit created a Champions Golf Club that hosted the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, Ryder Cup, several Tour Championships, and many other prominent tournaments. Read about which member of the Burke family "invented"/patented the corded rubber grip. The 1956 Masters & PGA Champion's collection of golf wisdom, It's Only A Game, has no less than six forwards from the likes of Ben Crenshaw, Steve Elkington, Tim Finchem, Jim McLean, Phil Mickelson and Hal Sutton.
