Gordon Hobson is a retired attorney and first-time author from Columbus, Ohio. He was raised in a golfing family and has caddied in an LPGA event, a PGA Pro-Am, and for Bruce Fleisher when he won the 1968 U.S. Amateur.
Before reading Gordon Hobson's excellent biography, all I knew of Calvin Peete was that he was a Black golfer with an uncanny ability to find the fairway from off the tee. Thanks to Hobson's extensive research and vivid storytelling, I received a much-needed education. While Peete almost always hit the ball straight, off the course he had to overcome twists and turns that would have wrecked many a lesser man.--Rob Oller, golf writer/columnist, The Columbus Dispatch A compelling read that ignites excitement and delivers insight on one of golf's most exceptional ball strikers.--Debert Cook, CMP, publisher, African American Golfer's Digest
