One of the finest golfer/gentleman in the game was born on this date in 1933. Dave Marr was born in Houston and had a proficient golf career that included winning the 1965 PGA, captaining the U.S. Ryder Cup team to victory in 1981 and becoming one of the finest — if not the finest — TV golf analysts, mainly working for ABC alongside Jim McKay.
