PITTSBURGH -- Rick Eckstein was 3 years old when his father, Whitey, introduced him to golf. A teacher, golf coach and local club champion in Sanford, Fla., Whitey hit balls with his son every day. Eckstein would watch his father's hands and slide credit cards under his clubs, making sure he was set up at the perfect angle.
