Shape Your Swing the Modern Way

Byron Nelson "achieved one of the most remarkable records in sports history when he won 11 consecutive pro golf tournaments in 1945." Dubbed Lord Byron by sports journalist O.B. Keeler, "Nelson possessed exquisite form, his aggressive lower body action and 'square' club position becoming the model for the modern golf swing... During a seven-year stretch in the 1940s he made 113 consecutive tournament cuts, a total exceeded only by Tiger Woods, who passed him in 2003" (New York Times). Shape Your Swing the Modern Way features Nelson's "keen analysis" of his own legendary golf swing. With "First Printing" on copyright page. Donovan & Murdoch 64750. In a 1996 interview published in Golf Teaching Pro, Nelson recalled his friendship with the Danforths, especially "Ted Danforth, the son of my wonderful friend Bill Danforth, one of the founding members of Augusta National. Bill lived in Hyannisport, and his children went to school with the Kennedys. One time in the late 1950s, I was up visiting Bill and we went out to play golf at Oyster Harbour with Ted" ("Byron Nelson, On Teaching Golf"). In 1967 the William Danforth Award was established at Harvard Business School.
