Sports Makes You Type Faster presents a remarkable new collection
of essays by one of America's best-known and best-loved

Semi-Tough, Baja Oklahoma, and Dead Solid Perfect-all of which were
made into movies. Among other achievements, Jenkins has been
honored with the 2013 Red Smith Award and the 2017 Ring Lardner
Award for Excellence in Sports Journalism, and in 2012 he was
inducted into the 2012 World Golf Hall of Fame, Lifetime
