“If there is any one man to whom golf owes a tremendous debt it would have to be my long-time friend. Toney Penna.

In the modern era of production-line golf, with week after week of tournaments whose purses make King Midas look like a penny pincher, everybody knows such players as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tony Lima, Billy Casper, et al. They are household words. And yet I have to feel that thirty years ago the missionary work which was done produced the golden product of today.

Toney Penna was in the forefront of these pioneers.

He was, and still is, a fiery and intense little man whose whole being was concentrated on selling the game of golf. I was fortunate enough to travel with him In those earlier times but most of us concentrated on the fun side of the fairway.

Toney was always selling: pride in the protession, the MacGregor clubs, which he completely redesigned, current and future tournament sponsors, headline nameswhose glamour would attract others to golf and, aboveeverything else, the game of golf, which he loves withsuch tremendous devotion.

As a player, he was the toughest type of competitor.Penna was gifted with one of the soundest, most beautifully uncomplicated swings I have ever seen. If therewas a flaw in his game it was on the putting greens.

Back then when we traveled together the tour was a sometime thing. Tournaments were widely scattered across the calendar and we did not compete with not compete enough regularity to match the human scoring machines of today. He did, however, win a number of championships, while I was fortunate enough to take the Masters three times.

I mention this merely to put across the point that we had our fair share of players and that Toney stood high for them by men such as Penna, who fraternized and socialized the game into a major industry. Thus was the tour set into the laps of the current crop of tournament stars on a silver platter.

Much of the thanks should go to Toney Penna: super player, salesman, club designer, missionary and friend to golfers everywhere. The game of golf owes him a debt it can never repay.”
