Sports Illustrated’s Michael Bamberger is one of the best golf writers and reporters in the business, and he’s come out with a new book, “Men in Green,” which details his journey to learn more about golf legends — some obvious, some not so much — in a trip back to a different era of the sport.

For this week’s podcast, I spoke with Bamberger about his book and just some of the questions that come out of the litany of amazing stories and tidbits found in it, including:
- Arnold Palmer saying he lost the “edge” after winning the 1960 U.S. Open
- The reclusive Mickey Wright and why she made a clean break from golf
- The legend of Ken Venturi and the legends he told
- The themes found in the book, including reflecting on life as we age
