Jack Harris - David John Lunt

JACK HARRIS, Australian Golfer Extraordinaire is the untold story of one of Australia's sporting greats. Written in association with Jack over a two year period, it covers both his phenomenal 75 year teaching career and his lesser known but nevertheless amazing tournament record. It also gives a snapshot of Australian golfing history during the 25 years after the Second World War. The characters, the caddies, the rules, the tournaments, the mind games, the tantrums, the golfing honours, the equipment, the financial rewards and the disappointments - it's all there along with doses of humour, intrigue and controversy. Additionally, the reference pages bring to life the remarkable playing days of the most modest golfer ever to pace the fairways of all the great Australian golf courses. Whether he was competing with the superstar touring professionals of world golf or breaking course records, Jack Harris, the unassuming club professional from Melbourne, did it all. The problem is, not enough people know about his legendary achievements ... but they will now!
