"I am happy to commend to you Byron Nelson and his book.
For sixty years, I've liked and admired him for a number of reasons.
Back in the thirties, a lot of us who tried to teach people to play golf became fascinated with Byron's golf swing.
Steel shafts had just replace hickory, and Byron seemed to have found the way to get the most out of the new clubs.
I'd study him in play or practice; his swing seemed perfect, his balance was perfect, even his divots (which looke like little dollar bills) were perfect in a certain way.
And like everybody else, I was amazed at what Byron did in his great year of 1945.
Eleven straight wins and eighteen tournament victories for the year.
It's still hard for me to believe that anyone could play so well for such a long period of time.
It's a wonderful thing when success finds a man as nice as Byron Nelson.
But as much as I was impressed by his swing and his great record as a tournament player, I've treasured our friendship much more.
I think the big thing we have in common is that we love people more than golf.
" - Harvey Penick, Austin, Texas, from the Foreword.
