Calvin Peete wore two hats - that of a professional golfer and a cherished resident of the North Fort Myers community. In his youth, Calvin suffered a misaligned arm injury that was never properly set. Despite this challenge, he embarked on a unique journey, simultaneously delving into the realm of golf while working as a traveling salesman, peddling clothing and other wares to migrant workers to sustain himself. His initial start into the sport took root in 1966 when he was 23, gradually igniting an intense passion for golf. By the age of 28, he transitioned into a professional golfer, his perseverance paying off as he eventually conquered the PGA Qualifying School after just a few attempts. This accomplishment marked the beginning of a remarkable journey, punctuated by 12 triumphant PGA Tournament titles and 2 Japanese Tournament victories, all fueled by his unwavering dedication to the sport he held dear.
