Description

Former PGA Tour Commissioner, Deane Beman, recounts a riveting tale of intrigue and clashing egos as he relates the details of the 1983 attempt to oust himself as Commissioner and to return the Tour to its' origins of simply administering  golf tournaments. The Coup Attempt, led by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson (and their representatives) featured a claim that Beman and the Tour Board had exceeded their authority when, among other things,  the Tour began marketing itself as a brand and entered the golf course business with the Tournament Players Clubs. Hear about the player's miscalculation and the role Jim Colbert played with Nicklaus in preserving the peace and saving the PGA Tour, "FORE the Good of the Game."
