But he also chronicles the legendary figures known only to insiders, who nevertheless have left an indelible mark on the sport. There's a club pro, a teaching pro, an old black Southern caddie. There's a tournament director in his seventies, a TV director in his eighties, and a USGA executive in his nineties. All these figures, from the marquee names to the unknowns, have changed the game. What they all share is a game that courses through their collective veins like a drug. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWas golf better back in the day? \u003ci\u003eMen in Green \u003c\/i\u003eweaves a history of the modern game that is personal, touching, inviting, and new.
