Cover Story: A Tough Balancing Act
Frank Viva confesses that, when he started on this week’s cover, “I knew nothing about golf, apart from lugging my grandfather’s clubs around when I was five years old.” But that did not deter him from sketching an idea: “A well built man in his prime, a very professional and proud kind of guy, takes a swing with all of his skill and power, and he misses. Everybody—he, the dog, the crow—is expecting to see the ball flying through the air, and there it is. It’s gone maybe a foot and a half.”
