This Day in Golf--Dec. 27

In my opinion, Dave Marr, the 1965 PGA champion, was part of the finest TV golf broadcast team with Jim McKay on ABC. Marr was born on this date in Houston in 1933. I only met him once, at Shinnecock Hills during the U.S. Open, and I was clumsy company I'm sure. He passed away far too early a couple months shy of turning 64. Also on the birthday list today is Charley Hoffman, born in San Diego in 1976.
