The story of Beau Steadman who was wrongly accused of murder and unable to follow his dream to play golf. However his friend Bobby Jones, who besides being the world famous golfer was a lawyer, helped set up matches with various famous players using numerous aliases. Mr. Jones also found out as much information about the crime as possible. A great little known story.
