EVERY golf season has its implausible, unexpected tournament winners, but 1971 has been something special. First of all, J.C.

Now comes a book worthy of being another bestseller: the diary of a charming and extraordinary red man who is pushing 101. Chief Red Fox is a nephew of Crazy Horse. He has lived through both Custer's last stand and Alan Shepard's attempt to play golf on the moon. Somehow he manages a genuine appreciation for the cultures that produced both events...
