Gettin' to the Dance Floor

Gettin' to the Dance Floor An Oral History of Professional Golf

Al Barkow2000

Al Barkow interviewed the players who got to that early dance floor, and here tells their stories in their own words -- a unique document from golf's pioneer days, with first-hand accounts from Lighthorse Harry Cooper, Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, and more.
