"When Ben Crenshaw sank his putt at the seventy second hole for a one-
shot victory in the 1995 Masters, he bent over, buried his face in his
fingers for a moment, then wept in the arms of his caddie. This was
Ben's way of telling the world that what he had just done was his own
memorial to his great friend and mentor, Harvey Penick, who had passed
away almost exactly a week before. With Crenshaw's victory, every
golfer, ever lover of the game, joined Ben in giving thanks to the
greatest golf teacher of all time.
Harvey Penick's life in golf began when he started caddying at the
Austin Country Club in Texas at the youthful age of eight. Over the
next eighty-plus years, he enlightened the members of that club with
his insights into golf and life. In 1992, at the age of eighty-seven,
he offered the world that same wisdom in a timeless collection of
pieces entitled Harvey Penick's Little Red Book. He followed that with
three more books, all bestsellers, and all filled with thoughts,
stories and golf advice that has stood the test of time. Now, Bud
Shrake, Harvey's friend and collaborator, gathers together the very
best pointers, portraits, and parables, from all four of Harvey's
previous works.
Filled with nuggets of wisdom from Harvey Penick's Little Red Book,
And If You Play Golf You're My Friend, For All Who Love the Game, and
The Game for a Lifetime and enhanced with dozens of personal
photographs and keepsakes from the Penick family scrapbooks, The
Wisdom of Harvey Penick is a lasting treasure from the most beloved
teacher in all of golf."
