"Nobody knows the game of golf and many of the quaint people who have inhabited it better than Bill Fields, and I've never read anyone who gets them down on paper better than he does. You'll enjoy this book more than a string of birdies if you care anything at all about the sport."--Dan Jenkins, author of Dead Solid Perfect and Jenkins at the Majors "Bill Fields's field isn't golf; it's people. With a reporter's instinct and a writer's empathy, he specializes in stories only he can see. Don't read him unless you're ready to laugh and cry. Both."--Tom Callahan, author of Johnny U "Bill Fields is the modern poet laureate of golf. This is a book to dwell over and savor.

"--James Dodson, author of American Triumvirate: Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and the Modern Age of Golf "Bill Fields is simply one of our finest living golf writers."--Roland Merullo, author of Golfing with God and Passion for Golf "If Bill Fields is writing it, I want to read it. The clarity and quality of his golf prose is exceptional. It's solid reporting--with flair."--Curt Sampson, author of Hogan and The Lost Masters "Bill Fields's writing on golf has always been firmly rooted in a deep understanding and appreciation of the game's history. It's what makes his work not only memorable but valuable."--Al Barkow, author of Gettin' to the Dance Floor: An Oral History of American Golf.
