Book excerpt: Del Bonnet, a teaching pro at an obscure Florida golf resort, needs a change and needs it badly. Having crossed an ominous threshold--his fiftieth birthday--Bonnet receives frequent communiques from the AARP people. He gazes into the future and sees the prospect of assisted living growing larger by the day. Serendipity intervenes. A sales rep working out of his station wagon leaves a handmade driver in Bonnet's modest golf shop. The pro privately auditions the driver with astounding results. Bonnet--celebrated for thirty years as the only touring pro to be arrested on the course during a PGA event--is quickly convinced that he has secured possession of no mere golf club, but a sword of salvation. So armed, he decides to embark on the PGA Seniors Tour. Thus the formation of a strange triumvirate known as Team Del, consisting of the pro, the golf club that soon becomes dubbed "Big Luther," and a caddie, Doublewide McBride. Bonnet soon learns that the caddie is long on off-the-wall intuitions, short on behavioral graces recommended by Emily Post. While the misadventures of Team Del might not serve as a tribute to the memories Hagen and Hogan, the events detailed in Michael Shropshire's The Pro stand out as perhaps the most hilarious odyssey in the modern annals of sports fiction.

Download or read book Dot in the Weeds written by Djuna Shellam and published by Magnhild Press. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much beloved and fan favorite Dot Baverstock is back in this fourth installment of The Em Suite—but not in a way you'd ever expect. Dot and her son Waverly have a deep, dark secret they've been keeping for years. When Dot suffers a traumatic fall, they make the difficult and daring decision to expose themselves to their extended family. Waverly has orders to report for Air National Guard duty which would leave Dot, seriously injured, on her own or in the care of strangers. Em and Eve, with their son, Liam rush out to the Palm Springs desert to the rescue. Along for the ride is Em's ex and Liam's aunt, Prairie Fire Vaughn. But, there's something else... Dot and Waverly's secret—the "Big Mystery" and the true reason the family is needed—is revealed soon after their arrival. It appears far more will be needed from them than caretaking, while also putting them in peril. There's no question. They love Dot. They'll do anything for her—even if it means breaking the law. Regrettably, Dot's fall reignites an antagonistic foe, prompting memories of her late partner, Ivey, and the root of the "Big Mystery," taking her back to the early 1970s when they first met. In mourning for her best friend and long-time infatuation, Fiona, Prairie is on bereavement leave from her job as a major league baseball physical trainer. While Em and Eve deal with the "Big Mystery," Prairie takes on the role of primary caretaker to Dot for her physical care, and to orphaned Liam as familial continuity. Prairie and Dot haven't seen each other in twenty years, not since Dot first found her to rehabilitate Em after a life-altering car crash. Their friendship grows as they spend day after day confined to Dot's upstairs bedroom. Meanwhile, secluded on the other side of the property, lovers Em and Eve dutifully tend to Dot and Waverley's problem. They're also still adapting to being parents. Two weeks earlier, upon her untimely death, Fiona left her not-quite-three-year-old son to Em to raise as her own. Em, too, is mourning Fiona, her long-time soul mate. No one but Em truly understands why their bond was so deep. If she has her way, they never will. Love, tragedy, humor, heartbreak; adventure, mystery, and danger all deliciously intertwine in this fun, yet heart-tugging installment of The Em Suite. Though Dot in the Weeds is part of a series, it is also a story that firmly stands on its own.

Download or read book The Man and His Wings written by William Wellman Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Wild Bill Wellman was not Paramount Pictures' first choice to direct the World War I epic Wings (1927), but as a former aviator and war hero, he was the right choice. Despite months waging epic battles of his own with studio executives, Wild Bill managed to finish the big-budget war saga by inventing many of the techniques still used to film aerial battle scenes. The film, starring Clara Bow, broke box office records and earned its studio the first Academy Award for Best Picture. Considered by many to be the last great film of the silent era, Wings has been cited as a major influence on such directors as Martin Scorsese and Robert Redford. Its director, who went on to direct the likes of John Wayne, James Cagney, and Gary Cooper, later earned an Oscar for writing one of Hollywood's most loved (and often remade) films, A Star is Born. In this biography, the director's son, William Wellman Jr., reveals the war hero, family man, occasional prankster, and underestimated visionary who changed Hollywood forever. Augmented with personal correspondence from Wellman's own World War I tour of duty as a fighter pilot, on-set photographs from Wings and other classic Hollywood films, and anecdotes from the back lots of the early studio system, this unique work traces the way in which the first Best Picture's director used his own war experience to bring a war epic to the screen. The versatile director also excelled at comedies such as Nothing Sacred (1937), and had a lasting influence on the gangster genre with The Public Enemy (1931), starring James Cagney. With the recent release of Wellman's later aviation classics, Island in the Sky (1953) and The High and the Mighty (1954), both starring John Wayne, Wellman is gaining renewed attention and appreciation from a new generation of film enthusiasts. The book ends with a detailed Filmography of more than 75 classic films directed by Wellman.

After Johnny’s first white wife died, her wealthy father came after Johnny. That was the final blow. He despised these awful humans and all unredeemable. As things transpired, he had no choice but to go live with Johnny. He went to his place only because of his family, but not willingly. He didn’t and wasn’t about to like it.
