Wayne Westner, Troubled Off the Tee
from Drop Zone - GOLF Podcast Hosted by GOLF.com
Nearly one year ago, Wayne Westner — the best golfer you've never heard of — wrote a farewell note to his family and pointed a 9mm handgun to his head. His death was international news for the golf world, sensationalized in his homeland of South Africa, but left to just a paragraph or two elsewhere. Alan Shipnuck set out to find the story of Westner, once one of the most promising athletes in South Africa. What he found was a deeply philosophical, deeply troubled man who spent much of his life searching for perfection in the golf swing. Did he ever find it? Listen to Shipnuck's take on the podcast and find out for yourself by reading the story on GOLF.com.
