The Hilarious and Completely True Inside Story of College Golf’s Powerhouse Program

From 1968 to 1973, Jim McLean played for the University of Houston, where Coach Dave Williams had created the greatest golf dynasty in NCAA history. Dozens of highly competitive young golfers thought they’d be a starter, but with forty players on the team, they battled for only five spots, and few ever qualified. As part of Houston’s number-one college golf program, PGA Hall of Fame member Jim McLean digs into its past highlights to share what it was like to live in an athletic dorm, what it really took to create lasting greatness, and why it was so difficult.

Step into college life and the intense NCAA rivalries, and meet the team’s stars and their biggest rivals—many of whom went on to win professional championships. And at the center was legendary Coach Dave Williams, building Houston into a powerhouse while driving the team to each tournament in his signature green station wagon.

Similar to Dan Jenkins or Rick Reilly, McLean’s stories are witty and unforgettable, and he has so many that The Houston Dynasty selected the very best of them.
