Teeing Off: Players, Techniques, Characters, and Reflections from a Lifetime Inside the Game

Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, Sam Snead, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer.... The list of elite golfers that Ken Bowden has studied, befriended, and written about is mind-boggling indeed. Over the course of more than four decades, Bowden has lived a life that is the stuff of dreams: traveling the world, golfing the planet's best courses, and rubbing elbows with the game's elite players. The unparalleled access provided as a top editor for Golf World and, later, Golf Digest, allowed Bowden to observe these stars in their natural element. Along the way, he compiled an unmatched collection of golf stories--and gained considerable insight into the royal and ancient game--that he shares in this very unique book, which promises to amuse, enlighten, surprise, and entertain anybody who loves chasing small white balls through beautiful green fields.
