Great concept, Great Title, Flawed selections

The ongoing debate about golf's greatest performers should make its way into a book such as this, and "Golf's Greatest 18" is a great title. I even liked the mini-bios of the players, including some stories that I haven't heard before, such as when Trevino hustled Seve during an exhibition in Europe. And I agree with most of the selections here. Except.....leaving out Harry Vardon, and putting in Greg Norman just shows the bias of these writers toward the modern game. Vardon was THE dominant player of the beginning of the 20th century, and Norman, while he certainly had the potential to be included here (as did Tom Weiscopf and Johnny Miller), was a flawed player. End of story.
