In Ken Venturi, you have not only a sound basis for the investment you're about to make in your golf game, but an intimate connection to one of the bona fide legends of golf: U.S. Open Champion, Ryder Cup Team Member, President's Cup Captain, PGA Player of the Year, and CBS Golf Analyst for over 30 years.
