Mark Brooks - Part 1 (The Early Years)

FORE the Good of the Game

Major Championship winner Mark Brooks recalls being introduced to golf by his grandfather and his first golf experiences playing on a 6-hole sand green course in rural Oklahoma. He looks back on his collegiate career at the University of Texas where he was a 3-time All-American and remembers the difficulties of making it on the Tour and staying on the Tour as he went in and out of Tour Qualifying Schools throughout the 1980's. Mark relates an unconventional technique used by Harvey Penick during one memorable lesson. He must have learned something useful as Mark holds the record for most starts on the PGA Tour with 803. Mark Brooks tees up his life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
