About the Author :
Gary McCord (Scottsdale, Arizona) is a PGA Champions Tour player and a golf instructor to many celebrities. He's best known for his 24 years of experience providing color commentary for CBS. Fans and critics alike praise him for his knowledgeable perspective, refreshing humor, and sometimes irreverent wit towards a game that is known for taking itself too seriously. In 1999, Gary McCord joined the Champions Tour and took it by storm. He won the first and last events of the year — the Toshiba Senior Classic and Ingersoll-Rand Senior Tour Championship. Over the past few years Gary has continued his excellent play, proving himself to be an extremely talented golfer. Gary has also established himself as a talented author. Non-golfers might recognize McCord for his appearance in the Kevin Costner movie, Tin Cup, in which Gary played himself and served as a technical director.
