K. Zachary Haslem, author and producer, picked up a golf club at 14 and never quite put one down, even when his body told him to.
Haslem began the game after reading about the enduring mystery surrounding Ben Hogan's swing technique, which was discussed for decades across the sport. While the subject was often treated as folklore among professionals, Haslem approached it as a problem demanding deeper study. "I realized that this wasn't just a sport. It's a gambit and a mental game. There's a quest involved here," he says.
