When Dub and Imogene Bryant moved their family to Alamogordo in the mid-1960s, the Cold War—with the specter of that A-bomb blast at White Sands and those that followed in Japan—was still alive and well in every American's mind.

[S]tars rained down on Brad Bryant in the Magic Kingdom. In his 20th year as a professional, he carried home the trophy. Rain itself fell too that week, and in a shortened 54-hole event, Brad posted 67-63-68 to win. His patience, his diligence, his stubbornness had paid off.In the next four years, he played only about 60 more events, then he called it quits in 1999. His kids were growing older and he wanted to be home with them. His body was worn out and his only interest in playing seemed to be for money.
