You are cordially invited to join Michael Bamberger on a
year-long golfing adventure—playing alongside the pros of the PGA Tour,
the LPGA Tour, LIV Golf, and more—as he seeks to unlock golf’s most
stubborn secrets in various and surprising ways, all in the name
of…improvement!
Nearly fifty years after taking up the game, Michael Bamberger made a
pair of startling discoveries: golf had never meant more to him, and he
knew almost nothing about it. He decided to cover himself in green in a
whole new way. He spent a year inside the ropes of professional
golf—playing, caddying, competing, volunteering, and
interviewing—looking for a door into the sport’s sanctum sanctorum.
In The Playing Lesson: A Duffer’s Year Among the Pros, Bamberger goes
on the ultimate golfing bender. You’ve read about St. Andrews before,
but here you will experience the home of golf in a whole new way.
You’ll join the author as he volunteers in one tournament, caddies in
others, plays in men’s and women’s pro-ams, and conducts intimate
interviews with elite figures in the game. You’ll mooch off the lessons
Bamberger takes from instructors, famous and obscure, who teach golf in
novel ways. You’ll learn how to buy a better golf game.
Maybe you’ve had club fittings, but not like the one Bamberger
experiences in various tour trailers. In a pro-am, Bamberger gets
driving tips from one of the tour’s longest hitters, Jake Knapp. He
receives a putting lesson from Brad Faxon. He learns how to hit hook
wedges from Gary Player. He lives through the intense pain of Rory
McIlroy’s misses and rejoices at Lydia Ko’s triumphs. He plays Pebble
Beach and Royal Oak, a down-home nine-hole public course in Detroit
with perfect greens. He receives an unexpected hug from Greg Norman at
a LIV Golf event in Miami, along with the words, “Come on in here, you
asshole.” He spends a lot of time at driving ranges, some of it
productive.
What Bamberger has done here, when you get right down to it, is create
his own tour. The Playing Lesson is a report on a real-life golfing
safari, with stops inside the heads of the game’s high priests, his
own—and yours.
