Charles Coody - Part 1 (The Masters 1971)

FORE the Good of the Game

50 years on from his Masters triumph, Charles Coody recounts his early life, committing to golf as his livelihood after being inspired while seeing Hogan and Snead at Colonial CC as a 14-year old. Hear about life on the road as a traveling caravan from tour stop to tour stop, families on the road together. He relives his close call at the Masters in 1969 and his one regretful club-pull at the 16th. Breaking through with his win in 1971 over Nicklaus and Johnny Miller he makes it clear who he needed to beat and we talk about one of the most underrated golf shots in the tournament. We finish Part 1 with a funny story of his Master’s caddie, “Cricket” trying to go incognito on national television at the Masters. Charles Coody relives former glory, “FORE the Good of the Game.”
