Kenneth Paul Venturi (May 15, 1931 – May 17, 2013) was an American professional golfer and golf broadcaster. In a career shortened by injuries, he won 14 events on the PGA Tour including a major, the U.S. Open in 1964. Shortly before his death, Venturi was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2013.
Born in San Francisco, California, Venturi learned to play golf at an early age, and developed his game at Harding Park Golf Course and other public courses in the Bay Area. In the early 1950s, he was a pupil of Byron Nelson, and was also influenced by playing partner Ben Hogan. Venturi won the California State Amateur Championship in 1951 and 1956, serving in the U.S. Army in Korea and Europe in the interim.
Venturi first gained national attention at age 24; while still an amateur, he finished second in the Masters in 1956, one shot behind Jack Burke, Jr. Venturi led after each of the first three rounds in an attempt to become the first-ever amateur to win the Masters, but shot a final round 80 and relinquished a four-shot lead. Through 2015, no amateur has won the Masters.
Some great old stories from Ken Venturi on the Feherty show a few years ago. Truly one of my favorites....
Ken Venturi was the feature subject of this 1996 episode of "Golf's Greatest Legends." In these excepts, hosted by Jimmy Roberts, Venturi discusses his relationship with Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, the challenges of his youth and his career-defining victory at the 1964 U.S. Open.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, Ken Venturi was selected for induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame. In celebration of this great achievement, we take a look at his greatest one on the golf course, his win at the 1964 U.S. Open, when he withstood the heat at Congressional Country Club to win "Golf's Toughest Test."

A look back at the career of Ken Venturi who passed away at the age of 82 on May 17th, 2013.
Lifetime Achievement Inductee Ken Venturi, presented by Jim Nantz (accepted by Ken's sons Matt & Tim) at the 2013 World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
From the end of Ken Venturi's final broadcast as CBS golf analyst. This was the 2002 Kemper Open. Bob Estes has a one-shot lead. All he needs to win is a two-putt par on the 18th hole. Ken, in his own eloquent way, goes out in style. I know what he's trying to say, but he says it so poorly. Good job by Jim Nantz as the straight man.

Author Mark Frost discusses his book "The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever" as part of the Authors@Google series. The year: 1956. Four decades have passed since Eddie Lowery came to fame as the 10-year-old caddie to U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet. Now a wealthy car dealer and avid supporter of amateur golf, Lowery boasts to George Coleman--an equally important figure in gold circles and a fellow millionaire--that two of his car salesmen are the best players in the world. These two, U.S. Amateur champion Harvie Ward and up-and-coming star Ken Venturi, could beat any two golfers in the world in a best ball match, he claims. Coleman asks Lowery how he plans to prove it, and Lowery puts his money where his mouth is: Bring any two golfers of your choice to the course at 10 ...
On Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013 we discussed the 9 HOT topics in golf. This week we took a moment of silence for the legendary Ken Venturi, chatted about Tiger Woods and fried chicken, and discussed the LPGA playing on a wet island in the Bahamas. These are always fun, and we are starting to enjoy each other more. Especially when Jason brags about his anchored putter!

This is from a promo VHS tape from the UK for the Orlimar TriMetal Golf Club from around 1998, probably given away in a magazine or used for demo purposes in a golf shop. It's pretty much a extended infomercial with testimonials for Frank Lickliter, John Lopes, Michelle Mackall, Dean Woodman, Russ Blomberg, Ken Venturi, Dale Landon, Gary Monisteri, Jesse Ortiz, Walt Zembriski, Rick Acton, Roger Maltbie, Mark Lye, Jack Berube, Jenny Park, Ray Carrasco, Craig Williamson, Mike Sheptin, Bobby Stroble, Nathaniel Crosby, Ron Cerrudo and John Abendroth. I'm not a golf expert but I'm sure someone will find this of interest, and if you know anything about it please leave a comment.
