A lot of people in Baltimore could stand to learn something from his story. He didn’t complain, he worked his butt off to be the best and rose out of poverty.
The thing about Calvin is that he took a bad break and made it work for him. He was in some kind of accident - auto I think - and he had very limited range of motion as a result.
Thus he fashioned a golf swing around that limited motion, which was why his swing was consistent, his accuracy was amazing, altho he was one of the shortest hitters on tour. Great life lesson.
Well now I see the accident is mentioned in the article (shoulda read first) - still, a great lesson in lemons and lemonade so to speak....
Harvey Penick thought that Peete’s arm was the reason he played so well. Just a bit of trivia.
