Nellan was born in poverty in post-war, pre-independence Malaya. The eldest of 10 children, he slept on concrete, lived on tapioca and earned 55 sen a round as a caddy. A school dropout, he would gain ‘a doctorate’ in golf. His first ‘club’ was a metal rod he found on a building site. He was given a 4-iron and broke 80 – it was the only club he had for years. Once he had a full set, he would play for his country around the world. An even better coach than player, his life encompasses the modern histories of golf and Malaysia, and he’s met the most famous names: Lee Kuan Yew, Tunku Abdul Rahman and Abdul Razak; Arnold Palmer, Sam Snead and Gary Player. No wonder they call him ‘The Legend’. A forgotten Malaysian sporting hero, this is his incredible story.
