The Golfer's Journal – No. 21

You don't have to win major championships to become a legend in this game. Unforgettable characters parade at number 21, from Tiger's greatest childhood rival to a Cypress caddy who was squatting behind the 16th hole. Only in golf could the man who maintains Hogan's irons at Merion rub shoulders with a hustler who used baseball bats off the tee. Good conversations abound, whether between Gil Hanse and a rising architectural star or players begging the golf gods for a miracle in the shadow of a centuries-old church. Enjoy their company and even more from the inside.
