"No one can completely cover the game of golf like Bill Pennington
and no book can comprehensively tell the story of the sport with
the same wit, wisdom and knowledge like "On Par." "--Jim Nantz, CBS
Sports
Bill Pennington, the voice of the everyday golfer, has traveled
the globe in search of golf's essentials--those basic principles,
those ultimate truths (and, who are we kidding, any trick or quick
fix he can pick up along the way) that will improve anyone's game.
He has consulted elite golf instructors as well as countless
caddies, groundskeepers, parking lot attendants, and bartenders. He
has played rounds with Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, and Justin
Timberlake. He has spoken with psychiatrists, economists, and Zen
masters. On a particularly bad outing, he even discoursed on the
fickleness of golf with a wise raccoon.
In "On Par," Pennington distills this wisdom in an insightful
guide to the game. From equipment to the language of golf, from
camaraderie to the short-game/long-game debate, Pennington informs
and entertains readers as he gets to the essence of the game,
including that Holy Grail, the hole in one. Part instruction, part
therapy, and shot through with Pennington's trademark wit and
humor, this is a book for everyone who has felt the game's distinct
pull--and slice.
"A phenomenal guide . . . As all golfers know, the sport is about
more than being able to hit a good shot and this book takes you
through the journey, arming you with everything you need to
know."--Annika Sorenstam
"If you like golf, you'll like this book] . . . "On Par" blends
practical advice for beginners . . . golf history . . . trivia . .
. and Pennington's entertaining dispatches from out on the
course."--NPR's "Only a Game"
