Calvin Peete was a man in his 20’s with a permanently bent left elbow when he first took up the game of golf. He would go on to become one of the PGA’s most accurate ball strikers and win 12 times on Tour.
Calvin Peete passed away April 29, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia after a long battle with lung cancer. He was 71 years old.
Born in Detroit, Michigan July 18, 1943, Peete was one of 19 children. At the age of 12, he fell out of a tree and broke his elbow. The doctor failed to set the broken bone correctly which resulted in Peete never again being able to fully extend his left arm.
