Description
A lively collection of sportswriting at its sharpest, this book brings professional golf, football, and their colorful surrounding worlds vividly to life. With insider access and an irreverent eye, it offers entertaining portraits of legends such as Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, and Sam Snead alongside unforgettable accounts of tournaments, pro-ams, fans, and the rituals of sports obsession. The collection also extends beyond the playing field to explore friendship, marriage, drinking culture, media spectacle, and the peculiar devotion of football followers who will travel almost anywhere for a game. Witty, observant, and richly anecdotal, it showcases a distinctive style that combines intimate reporting with affectionate satire.
