From the Publisher:
Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, two of the greatest golfers of all time, were invited by a close friend (and successful businessman) to take part in a practice match against a pair of up and coming amateurs on the eve of Bing Crosby's annual 'Clambake' tournament at Pebble Beach in California. The amateurs, Ken Venturi and Harvie Ward, played their hearts out and gave the professionals a match that neither they nor the spectators (a group whose numbers grew exponentially as the match wore on) would ever forget. Mark Frost writes in fascinating detail about the match and those involved in it, revealing much about the sport of golf and the make up of the United States at the time.
