Curt Sampson

    Curt Sampson a découvert le golf à l'ancienne, en tant que caddie, perfectionnant son jeu lors de parties clandestines au crépuscule. Par la suite, il s'est consacré à l'écriture à temps plein, se concentrant sur le sport qui a marqué la vie de son père, en particulier sur ses figures légendaires. Son œuvre est saluée pour sa lisibilité et son esprit, plongeant dans l'essence des icônes du golf et de leurs époques, sans éviter les aspects controversés. Sampson révèle à travers ses écrits aussi bien le jeu lui-même que les histoires humaines captivantes de ceux qui l'ont façonné.
