The Houston Dynasty
Radius Book Group (Verlag)
979-8-89515-130-3 (ISBN)
From 1968 to 1973, Jim McLean played for the University of Houston, where Coach Dave Williams had created the greatest golf dynasty in NCAA history. Dozens of highly competitive young golfers thought they’d be a starter, but with forty players on the team, they battled for only five spots, and few ever qualified. As part of Houston’s number-one college golf program, PGA Hall of Fame member Jim McLean digs into its past highlights to share what it was like to live in an athletic dorm, what it really took to create lasting greatness, and why it was so difficult.
Step into college life and the intense NCAA rivalries, and meet the team’s stars and their biggest rivals—many of whom went on to win professional championships. And at the center was legendary Coach Dave Williams, building Houston into a powerhouse while driving the team to each tournament in his signature green station wagon.
Similar to Dan Jenkins or Rick Reilly, McLean’s stories are witty and unforgettable, and he has so many that The Houston Dynasty selected the very best of them.
Jim McLean is a golf club designer, golf course designer, speaker, coach, owner of the #1 golf school in America, and an author of fifteen golf books. He competed in the U.S. Junior Amateur, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open, and made the cut in the Masters. He was selected to the Pacific Northwest Golf Association Hall of Fame for his playing career. His later success includes being a member of the Golf Digest teaching staff and winning the National PGA Teacher of the Year Award. He continues to teach major champions on the PGA tour, LPGA tour and Champions Senior tour. He is a member of the Met PGA, South Florida PGA Hall of Fame, World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame, and is a radio host on SiriusXM. Jim is also a proud father of his sons, Matt and Jon.
