"Anger is a part of being human ... how one deals with it defines
him, as you so aptly describe. The one constant is the ability to
let anger go once it's grabbed on to you. Some are better at it
than others. Thanks for your thoughts on this ... they were on
point."
-Tom Watson, eight-time major championship winner on reading
Hole No. 7
"It was delightful reading, and your depiction of the Pebble Beach
experience was classic (and very much appreciated, I might add
...). The comparison to St Andrews is a terrific debate. Thanks for
making it so appealing. Our sincere best wishes to you in bringing
this to many readers and golfers throughout the world."
-RJ Harper, Senior VP, Golf at Pebble Beach Company on reading
Hole No. 11
"This is the best side-by-side presentation and analysis I've
seen."
-George Peper, editor, LINKS Magazine on reading Hole No.
9
"Wayne really captured the Augusta National you see in person. It
was an enjoyable chapter to read and evoked strong memories of
playing the Masters. Well done."
-Gary Player, nine-time major championship winner on reading
Hole No. 1
"The Verma Cuppers certainly seemed to enjoy themselves and you did
well to 'run' on the West Sands, albeit in slow motion, after your
experiences the day before We are delighted you enjoyed the
experience at St Andrews and can certainly detect from your writing
your appreciation of the history surrounding the Home of Golf."
-John Grant, Director of Golf, St. Andrews Links Trust on
reading Hole No. 6
"Golf Shorts and Plus Fours: Musings from a Golfing
Traditionalist" from Wayne T. Morden is a sometimes comic look at
the game of golf in all its glory and idiosyncrasies. Arranged like
an eighteen-hole golf course-including trivia refreshments and
three additional playoff holes-this collection of short stories
offers life lessons and relies heavily on golf's fundamental tenets
to remind golfers why they are so obsessed with this pastime.
Morden conveys exasperation over the proverbial sand trap and
laughs over Star Wars lingo and Verma Cup antics. Golf has not only
taught him how to be a sportsman but it has also taught him how to
be a better man to his friends, family, and fellow golfers. "Golf
Shorts and Plus Fours" is a collection of well-informed, analytical
and entertaining bits of wisdom that will warm the heart of any
devoted golfer.
