MICHIGAN GOLFER TELEVISION-THE HAIG
As the Ryder Cup approaches, the life and times of Walter Hagen will be
of interest to everyone. He captained the first six Ryder Cups and helped
to bring it to its prominance.

For a good read of "The Haig", you can read the Walter Hagen Story put
out by Vintage Publishing http://vintagepublishing.com/waltherhagen.htm or
the very excellent Sir Walter & Mr. Jones: Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones and
the Rise of American Golf By Stephen Lowe
http://www.clocktowerpress.com/displaybook/000056/BOBBY+JONES

For a good see, you can tune in four shows of "The Haig" now showing on
the Michigan Golfer Television channel The Haig Visits Cadillac Walter Hagen had
the opportunity to stop by one of his old haunts a month ago, as he visited
Pilgrim's Village in Cadillac. It was here that The Haig spent many a
wonderful summer away from the crowded and busy world of suburban Detroit.
It was also here that he penned his biography, "The Walter Hagen Story".
