Golf magazine columnist Dodson's first book tells the moving story
of a father and son's pilgrimage round the golf courses of Britain.
Sounds simple, but what makes this story special is the fact that
Dodson's father was terminally ill when they made the journey,
making this a document of their shared last days together. Their
love for one another and for the game of golf permeates every word.
A poignant tribute to a man whose son still hears his voice every
day. (Kirkus UK)
FINAL ROUNDS celebrates a lifetime of golf shared by a father and
son who take on a last trip together to the finest courses of
England and Scotland. Their relationship is forged on the golf
course, and whatever problems they have are worked out while
smashing drives and lining up putts. But Jim's father is 80 years
old and just before they leave for a visit to the Scottish links
where his father played during the First World War, he finds out
his cancer has returned and he only has few months to live. The
trip to the Scottish links takes on a new meaning, as they
determine to honour their lives and love together (for each other,
their families, and for the game). While playing the world-renowned
courses as St Andrews and Muirfield, they encounter great golf lore
and legend; but more importantly, a son learns the secrets of his
father's past and to admire his father even more than he thought
possible. In the process, he takes home some very important lessons
about the meaning of family. Written with searing honesty and
unbounded wit, FINAL ROUNDS is a tribute to a very special game and
the fathers and sons who make it so.
