A part-time golf writer gets the royal treatment from a host of fine U.K. clubs in exchange for his implied promise to sing their courses glories in this memoir that meshes a Finegan-like travelogue with the poignancy of Plimptons Bogey Man and the vinegar of Doaks Confidential Guide. Traveling solo, this fifty-something Yank has his vigor roundly tested by a quest to play 36 courses. And, along the way -- in a wholly honest account -- the reader gets taken inside the golfers mind when encountering the alluring yet treacherous terrain at one great links after another, along with engaging the natives who call these courses Crackers.
A History Book Club Alternate Selection. "A controversial and provocative study of the fundamental differences that shaped the South ... fun to read", -- History Book Club Review
R.N.A. Smith tees up 18 additional short stories in this fourth golf book to his credit. The fare ranges from his early to latest output, arranged in thematic pairs, thus creating nine chapters of increasingly edgy material, according to the author’s viewpoint. You may not agree with his assessment, but you will be intrigued by the return of R.N.A.’s many notable characters in this collection, including golf pundit Professor Norman Birdbaum, course superintendent Christopher Larken, and that luscious lawyeress Leslie Overton Brentel. Darker, more complex works reign here, in comparison with his Classy Divots volume. Still, Smith’s trademark of aligning golf’s joys in close conjunction to its pricks and stabs is hardly absent within.
