Book excerpt: DEEP, DEEP in the ROUGH, ROUGH is a golf comedy about a golf match conceived by four wealthy members of the famous Burning Bridges Golf Club, who, in a drunken bet, hire four amiable losers to play a golf match like no other, a throwback to the earliest days of golf -- through 4 states, over 40 days and covering 400 miles -- through the wilderness! Accompanying the unlikely foursome is a crusty old codger named Cookie, driving a team of horses and a tricked-out Conestoga wagon and the scorekeepers of the game, an ex-KGB couple named Boris and Ludmilla representing the Royal and Ancient Golf Union, the owners of the rules of golf. What starts out a crazy bet soon becomes a worldwide sensation as the bizarro foursome and their epic golf match are covered by the television sports reporter Donna Dina and her intrepid cameraman. What transpires is a golf match of biblical proportions, through the area known as the Four Corners, where New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona share a border, but not a golf course in hundreds of miles! Through the wide use of the players dreams and fantasies, as well as a wild concoction of memorable characters they meet along the way, this unlikely journey highlights the deeper meanings of the game of golf and ultimately leads to bonds of love and friendship no one could have ever imagined. Deep, Deep in the Rough, Rough could forever change the nature of golf and, perhaps, golf in nature. Hold on to your golf carts because this is one wild ride you will never forget.

Download or read book Playing from the Rough written by Jimmie James and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of one man’s quest to become the first person to play each of America’s 100 greatest golf courses in a single year, an odyssey that brings him face to face with the gulf between his impoverished childhood in the Jim Crow South and the successful executive he became. When he set out to play each of Golf Digest’s America’s 100 greatest golf courses in one year, Jimmie James knew he was attempting the impossible. But then again, he’d spent his entire life defying the odds. James was born invisible. His birth certificate, long since filed away in some clerk’s office in East Texas, recorded facts about him that were deemed most relevant in the late 1950s: “colored” and “illegitimate.” His great-great-grandmother was enslaved, and his early life was confined by the privation and segregation of the late Jim Crow-era South. Four decades later—having put himself through an HBCU and determinedly risen through the executive ranks at ExxonMobil—he embarked on his journey to play the 100 greatest golf courses in the United States. In a single year. From the first tee at Augusta National, the distance between the world he grew up in and the world of extreme privilege to which he’d now managed to gain access was impossible to ignore. Playing from the Rough is a remarkable memoir of race, class, family, and the power of perseverance, as James braids his love of golf with reflections on the path that took him from childhood poverty to the most exclusive and opulent golf courses in America.
