Classic writing on some classic courses.
One thing I always wondered about Herb Wind was what kind of player he was. Comparisons between him and Bernard Darwin are frequent and understandable; the two great golf writers of the 20th Century, much as Jones and Nicklaus were the two great players of the century. But Darwin was a fine, elite-class player in his youth. Did Wind play much?
Also, I wonder if ANGC ever did anything special for Wind, after all that his writing had done for the club. To the best of my knowledge, he was never given a membership, but I got the impression that he was very much of a favored guest there over the years.
