Ken Venturi
Ken died 17th. May, aged 82, having reached that age on the 15th. May.
Ken was an American golfer and later a TV broadcaster.
Ken was invited to play in Bing's Pro-Am, as an amateur, receiving a late invitation and with no where to stay, Bing invited Ken to stay with him at his place.
When AT & T took over Bing's event, Ken would mention that it was the former Crosby event. I think he
may have been told off eventually as mentioning that fact too much.
Ken was also very good friends with Frank Sinatra.
