Sir Bob Charles - Part 1 (The Early Years)

World Golf Hall of Fame member Sir Bob Charles begins his story with his life in New Zealand, learning the game of golf on his own as a young lad. He recalls the discipline instilled in him by his schoolmaster father, his days working as a bank teller and his early successes as an amateur. He and Bruce Devlin recall their experiences at the inaugural Eisenhower Trophy team matches at the Old Course in 1958 and their memories of Bobby Jones , the U.S. side's Honorary Captain. Bob emotionally recalls  befriending Gary Player and Gary's late wife Vivienne and remembers Ben Hogan, in his fifties, playing the finest round of golf he has ever witnessed, at Oakland Hills. Sir Bob Charles launches into his story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
