Remember this
Calvin Peete taught himself how to play golf at age 23.
He had 18 siblings growing up in Detroit, Michigan.
Peete won 11 times in the 1980s, third-most in that decade, including THE PLAYERS Championship in 1985.
Not only was Peete a trailblazer for minorities in the sport, he was one of the most accurate players in golf history.
Despite a permanently crooked elbow from a childhood accident, Peete led the TOUR in Driving Accuracy each year for 10 years (1981-1990).
