    Bill Pelham: The Great Golf Tales in "Burke and Demaret"

    He worked for two of our game's great players for five years, and Bill Pelham's wonderful read, "Burke and Demaret: The Wit and Wisdom of Golf's Most Colorful Duo," is a tribute to the men who created Champions Golf Club outside of Houston.  Some of the stories that were legendary around the club are now told through this fun and poignant book. Pelham went on to play in five major championships and credits his time at Champions for making him the player he ultimately became.  Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Mickey Rooney, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, and Willie Mays. They're all mentioned in the book, as are Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. What a great read about two men who left their marks on the course -- five major championship titles between them -- and through Champions Golf Club, their legacy that continues to thrive today.
