Great Reads: Bob Goalby's My Shot, 1968 Masters Rebroadcast Analysis
/As the 50th anniversary of his Masters win arrives, Bob Goalby will be the understandable focus of some preview coverage. Sean Zak at Golf.com pulled up the recently uploaded YouTube posting of the 1968 broadcast and posted this item along with a podcast.
Also of note is a sensational Golf Digest My Shot with Guy Yocom, who somehow got a Goalby My Shot pitch by the millennial filtering (must have Bob's Amana flatbrim that fooled 'em).
I was heartened to read this from Goalby:
WE'RE AT THE 50-YEAR mark of that Masters, and history is being kinder to me. Young people especially don't know about the controversy because it was so long ago. To them, I'm just a Masters champion. They'll say, "That's so cool. What year did you win? Can you tell me about it?" And I tell them about how I shot 66 on Sunday, the overflowing parking lot and the letter Bobby Jones wrote me about my shot to the 15th. Time is allowing me to be at peace and to feel even more proud and satisfied.
