Grantland writer, Caleb Hannan, under heavy fire after his profile on Essay Anne Vanderbilt reached readers across the United States.
Hannan began research on Dr. V’s magical putter 8 months prior to publishing it on Grantland’s website. But the story that began as a simple evaluation of golf equipment, started to take an interesting turn when Hannan began to investigate further into the life of Dr. V herself.
Although upon contact, Dr. V made it abundantly clear that for Hannan to write an article about her putter, it must “focus on the science and not the scientist.” Amongst many glowing credentials, such as a graduate from MIT, Dr. V perplexingly, yet sternly, refused to answer questions about herself no matter how hard Hannan tried.
