The Inspiration Behind "The Right Side of the Fairway: "

This book was written in homage to the greatest game of all. I salute all dedicated golfers, past and present--professionals, hackers, and those with skills somewhere in between.

Although the central theme revolves around golf, the book is also about eccentric personalities, finding love when it's least expected, and dealing with life-changing challenges. I hope that avid golfers and non-golfers alike will find the story to be interesting, unpredictable, and entertaining.

THE 18th HOLE: Stories from the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club San Francisco, California 1955, 1966, 1987, 1998 THE 18th HOLE: Stories from the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club, San Francisco, California, 1955, 1966, 1987, 1998 is a concise and riveting history of the U.S. Open Championship play conducted at San Francisco's Olympic Club. It is a book that will satisfy not only the avid golf enthusiast (that wants an insider's view of the challenging Lake Course) but also the history buff that wants a thorough analysis of the past four U.S. Open tournaments held at a Club which is steeped in rich history and tradition. This book offers a vivid peek at the world's ultimate golf event/s conducted at the oldest athletic club in America. Author Frank Doyle, a member of the Club for more than 50 years, provides his personal insights having attended all four U.S. Open's contested at the Olympic Club in 1955, 1966, 1987 and 1998. In this quick read, you will glean interesting details about the past four U.S. Opens at the Olympic Club. To begin, the Lake Course has challenged both professionals and amateurs alike with chilly wind bursts off the Pacific Ocean, narrow, tree-lined fairways and the small, well- bunkered greens. The Club hosted its first U.S. Open Championship in 1955 when Jack Fleck (a relative unknown from Iowa) defeated fan favorite, Ben Hogan, in a playoff. Of the seven, under-par rounds for the tournament, Fleck put up three. During the 1966 U.S. Open, Arnold Palmer dominated, leading by seven strokes with only nine holes left to play. Billy Casper tied him and then won the playoff. In 1987, nine players went into Sunday within three strokes of the lead. The favorite, Tom Watson, was defeated as Scott Simpson took the day, without the need for a playoff. In 1998, Payne Stewart went into Sunday with a four-stroke lead but the legacy of Hogan, Palmer and Watson loomed before him. He too, would falter, allowing Lee Janzen to make his way to the top. No player broke par for the tournament and only Janzen equaled it. The author's unique reflection on each of the four championships captures not only the strategic skills of each standout player but the often complex, emotional back-story of each competitor, too. With concise observations and notes, we learn the inside story of what Jack Fleck, Ben Hogan, Billy Casper, Scott Simpson, Tom Watson, Lee Jantzen and others--had to overcome in these challenging competitions. It's been said before, "The wrong guy always wins at Olympic." This story is compelling, read it.

Having used the methods described in this book showing hundreds of men, women, and youngsters how to score well consistently, I know that it will aid golfers in achieving skill in their favorite sport. The book presents a simple, practical summary of the natural fundamentals of learning and playing the game of golf in the best possible manner as demonstrated by American professional golfers. It isn't possible to name the many professionals who have made available to me, to their colleagues, and to all amateurs what they learned the hard way?trying to make good golf easy. I am, however, deeply indebted to them.

When learning Thomsen was writing Golf: Find Center, Enter the Circle, many had emphasized the diversity of golf due to its natural setting, and golf's natural setting was open to amateurs, professionals, and all ages also. Thomsen was quick to agree. "Golf can serve the needs of many. It's my job to open up to more and increase the standards within the art form-golf." Thomsen said. Some have asked, "Who do you think will read it, Jack?" "Few," came the reply. "Golfers mainly, and only the most obsessive of those. There's no popular market for this book. Materialism is too much in demand, and serving the spirit has become lost in the equation." That brief exchange reveals an unvarnished truth: golf is essentially caught in a materialistic grasp as an overview of the game, and yet as an art form, independent players function in it. The artist Vincent van Gogh had sold few of his paintings. Someone else had done that. Is the treasure the money or the art? Golf: Find Center, Enter the Circle's genesis from a personal journal's beginning had been imbued with a Joycean stream of consciousness that, in its intuitiveness, is likely to engage none but the determined reader. By way of contrast, however, the book's title forthrightly distills Thomsen's thesis. Golf, he asserts, can be a spiritual practice when done as an expression of the golfer's essential self and if engaged in it for the sheer love of golf's diversity, its wholeness, bringing on its transcendental nature. Accept Thomsen's invitation. Turn your attention inward, tap into the answers that are there, feel the resultant centering, the balance, and project that centering-enter the circle. "A liberated person possesses perfect senses and with perfect senses only can serve the sense proprietor," says the Bhagavad Gita.
