 Herbert Warren Wind's nephew and Sports Illustrated writer, Bill Scheft wonderfully remembered "Uncle Herb" in the 6/13/05 SI column:
"In his criminally under-celebrated career as a writer, Herbert Warren Wind never undersold his audience. The amassed wealth of his knowledge became ours.
And his lyrical yet humble style left no fingerprints.

He is the author of golf's seminal history, The Story of American Golf, and co-author with Ben Hogan of its most influential instruction manual, Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, which was first published as a series in SI in 1957 and has never been out of print.
Long before Tiger Woods was a twinkle in his marketer's eye, Herb Wind chronicled the game's growth with critical respect and detached awe."
