This Day in Golf--Nov. 1

A couple major figures had birthdays on November 1. Grantland Rice, the sportswriter closely aligned with the Golden Age of Sports, was born in 1880. And Gary Player was born in 1935. The South African World Golf Hall of Fame member won nine major championships and is still traveling the world as a legendary golf ambassador and member of the Big Three with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
