Texas Golf Legends
Eagle Edition

Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Ben Crenshaw, Judy Rankin, Tom Kite, Fred Cobb, Harvey Penick, Babe Zaharias, Lee Trevino... the list of Texas golf legends reads like the leader board of an imaginary 20th-Century Golf Greats Invitational. This collection of portraits and interviews features fifty of the best golfers.

A thirty-year retrospective of his work, "Out of the Ordinary", was published in 1991 by Texas Tech University Press. Curt Sampson was 'broke and disgusted' at the end of a four-year stint as a club and touring pro. So he traded in the trials and tribulations of a golf pro for the woes of a writer, thankful that he can stay close to the game he loves. He is a frequent contributor to national golf magazines and the author of "The Eternal Summer". Each collector's edition is prefaced with signature pages bearing original ink signatures of more than two dozen golfers, including Tom Kite, Judy Rankin, Ben Crenshaw, Sandra Haynie, Byron Nelson, Kathy Whitworth, and Dan Jenkins. "The Eagle Edition" is a handsome book and slipcase of hunter green accented with gold stamping. These fifty numbered books are signed by twenty-three golfers, including Ben Hogan and Harvey Penick, and each book is priced at $750. "The Legends Edition" is bound in smoke blue with silver stamping on the slipcase. This edition of 398 numbered books is signed by twenty-nine golfers and each book is priced at $350.
