"Authorized, intimate, and definitive, Ben Hogan: A Life is the
long-awaited biography of one of golf's greatest, most enigmatic
legends, narrated with the unique eloquence that has made author
James Dodson a critically acclaimed national bestseller.
In Final Rounds, James Dodson told the poignant story of the golf trip of a lifetime with his terminally ill father. Now, armed with a fly-fishing rod and reel, he embarks with his seven-year-old daughter on an equally memorable journey across America in search of clear-running streams, swift elusive fish, and the eternal truths that only nature can provide.
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.
With compelling detail and pure passion, James Dodson recounts
the singular brilliance of three golf titans and how they saved the
professional tour and created the game as we know it today.
When acclaimed golf writer James Dodson leaves his home in Maine to
revisit Pinehurst, North Carolina, where his father first taught
him the game that would shape his life and career, he s at a point
where he has lost direction. But once there, the curative power of
the sandhills region not only helps him find a new career working
for the local paper but also reignites his flagging passion for the
game of golf. And, perhaps more significantly, it inspires him to
try to pass along to his teenage son the same sense of joy and
contentment he has found in the game, and to recall the many
colorful and lifelong friends he has met on the links.
