MIAMI, FL (June 22, 2009) – Tonight on www.thegolfersnation.com a new edition of Classic Conversations debuts featuring Ken Venturi. Winner of the 1964 U.S. Open, Venturi, best known for his days in the tower working as lead analyst for CBS Golf, will be featured in a three-part special.
Venturi won 14 times on the PGA TOUR, but his playing days were cut short by a debilitating case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Despite several surgeries, Venturi had to cut his playing days short. However, his ability to analyze a golf swing, and the respect he commanded from his peers served as a perfect combination to speak about the game, and he did for over 30-years on golf telecasts.
Prior to his retirement, Venturi sat down with Jim McLean to discuss a variety of topics, including his ideas when it came to how to swing the golf club; learning under the watchful eye of a golf legend – Byron Nelson; and his friendship with one of golf’s most iconic figures – Ben Hogan. Very few people have enjoyed such relationships.
This special edition of Classic Conversations will be broken down into multiple episodes with the first airing on Classic Conversations beginning its run this evening on www.thegolfersnation.com.
TheGolfersNation.com is a new internet golf channel featuring original programming from Jim McLean and a multitude of other instructors.
