The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter is a love letter
to golf, revealing something of the beauty, joy and comradeship
that the author James Ellis-Caird has taken from his golfing life.
In doing so, it is quietly revolutionary, depicting a vision of
golf free from the constraints of convention and expectation, in
which being 'good enough' is the goal, allowing space for personal
expression, an appreciation of nature and the joy of the little
things to come to the fore. A lesson not just for golf, but also
perhaps for a quieter, gentler way to live our lives. Whether
you're a non-golfer, a new golfer, an old golfer or an ex-golfer,
The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter offers gentle
words of wisdom and a fond conversational style that will have you
reaching for the nearest golf club and falling in love with the
game all over again.
In this very funny sports book young journalist Lawrence Donegan tells the story of the summer he spent caddying for Scottish golfer Ross Drummond, ranked over 400 in the world,on the European Tour. This is the inside story of the geniuses,the cheats, the gurus and the hangers-on that make up the golf scene.
USA Today Bestseller Now available in trade paper! Jack Nicklaus
II, son of PGA Champion Jack Nicklaus, shares stories, insights,
and lessons he has learned from his father, the Golden Bear, that
will encourage fathers and inspire us to focus on what's most
important in life: family. Best Seat in the House, written with New
York Times bestselling author Don Yaeger, gives us eighteen
valuable lessons that Jack Nicklaus II learned from his father, PGA
champion Jack Nicklaus. Widely regarded as the best golfer of all
time with a record number of PGA major championships, the Golden
Bear's life and values show that true legacy lives on through our
families. Jack II has always had a clear view of who his father is.
"I had the best seat in the house, to watch this man, when away
from the public's eye, live out extraordinary lessons." Best Seat
in the House details what made Jack Nicklaus an off-course success
a lasting marriage: Jack and his wife Barbara fashioned fifty-plus
years of marriage with the rule that each must give of themselves
"at least 95 percent of the time," treating others with respect:
Nicklaus taught his son Jack, who worked as his caddie for several
years, to value his competitors and treat them as he would hope to
be treated, choosing family over work: the importance of having
boundaries and limits that everyone in the family agrees on, and
building a legacy: the need to be connected to what we'll leave
behind. A perfect gift for Father's Day and for the serious fans,
the casual golfers, or even those new to golf, you can learn
lessons from the Golden Bear in Best Seat in the House...and can
apply all eighteen of them even if you're nowhere near a golf
course.
