Jeff Sluman - Part 1 (The Early Years)

FORE the Good of the Game

We begin our four-part series with major championship winner Jeff Sluman who recounts his early life growing up in a working-class family in Greece, New York. Smitten by the game at an early age and with the encouragement of his father and two older brothers, Jeff showed early promise, first as a left-hander and later as a convert to the right side. Listen in as he recalls attending a practice round for the 1968 U.S. Open at Oak Hill with his Dad and marveling at the beauty of the course and the ability of the professional players. Jeff remembers his first golf clubs and the junior competitions he participated in before college including his encounter with Bob Tway at the 1975 U.S. Junior Amateur. Jeff Sluman shares his early years, "FORE the Good of the Game."
