Download or read book Golf It s a Funny Old Game written by M. Prefontaine and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-25 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For us rabbits the game of golf is a constant battle between fantasy and reality. The great hopes and ambitions that accompany us on the first tee quickly evaporate by a combination of mother nature, gravity and the cruelest of luck. One of the charms of the Great Game is that we are constantly chasing what is, in theory, attainable but in reality highly elusive. It is a perpetual series of occasions for hope. David Feherty summed it up when he said; "Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle." It is astonishing how long the occasional miracle can remain in the memory to the total eclipse of all else. Golf is a game whose hook is baited with hope. This book is a compendium of quotes from players who have been similarly troubled by the journey from great hopes to cruel reality. I hope you enjoy their reflections.

Download or read book Confessions of a Golf Slut written by Susan Fornoff and published by Gottagogolf. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 35-year-old career bachelorette decided her dating style needed an overhaul, so she took up golf to meet men on manicured greens instead of in smoky bars. Of course she met men. But she also made friends. And found a new vocation that took her to the most beautiful resorts and most famous courses in the world. None of it had anything to do with being good at the game. "Golf slut," was what she called herself -- based on the description comedian Tommy Smothers used lovingly in describing his wife: "will play anywhere, anytime, with anyone." But as moment after moment unfolded with gifts, lessons and surprises, she came to realize her relationship with the game transcended labels. In her memoir "Confessions of a Golf Slut: A memoir of life, love, and The Game," trailblazing sports journalist Susan Fornoff tells the story of how golf became her warm blanket through the heartbreaking loss of divorce and death, her compass for a hilarious journey through online dating, her guiding light in the murky tunnel of midlife career change. "Confessions of a Golf Slut" is you'll-laugh-you'll-cry chick lit -- spun with driver, hybrid, wedge and putter. A poignant and often funny golf sister to the likes of "Julie and Julia" and "Eat, Pray, Love," "Confessions of a Golf Slut" relates the metaphors of the beloved, centuries-old game in context with human foibles and frailties. Within the narrative framework of the search for love, it addresses universal themes such as self-examination, perseverance, friendship and, ultimately, forgiveness. Chick lit, yes - and, for men, a peek into the other team's playbook. It's not a spoiler to reveal that the author never masters the game of golf. But her passion for the game will no doubt resonate among the women who already play -- an estimated 5 million in the United States alone, with another 38 million women reported to have interest -- and inspire those who don't yet play to pick up a 7-iron and give it a big kiss.

Download or read book The Range Bucket List written by James Dodson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved, award-winning golf writer James Dodson, author of Final Rounds and American Triumvirate, shares his funny, intimate, nostalgic journey of self and sport in his golfing “bucket list.” Many years ago, when James Dodson was thirteen years old, he wrote a list titled “Things to Do in Golf.” It included the golfing aspirations of a young boy who had no idea where life would take him. A few years ago, now in his sixties and one of the most respected golf writers of all time, Dodson rediscovered the piece of paper in an old trunk. Realizing that he had yet to achieve many of his thirteen-year-old dreams, and pondering the things he’d add to the list if he wrote it today, he expanded the list into a golfing “bucket list” of the people and places he had yet to meet and see in the golf world. In this tribute to the game he loves, Dodson takes readers on a journey around the world and into the lives of characters large and small. From an interesting lunch with Donald Trump to rounds with John Updike and intimate conversations with Arnold Palmer, from scoring a memorable thirteen on a hole at St. Andrews to revealing the real reason The Masters has always been broadcast on CBS, The Range Bucket List is simultaneously an exhilarating armchair adventure and one man’s love letter to a game that has fundamentally shaped him and his life, filled with unforgettable characters, untold history, and lots of heart.
