For over a decade, Don Wade has entertained us with many captivating collections of sometimes hilarious, sometimes moving, but always true golf stories in his best-selling "And Then Jack Said to Arnie . . ." series. Indeed, Wade has truly established himself as one of golf's master storytellers. Now he has selected the absolute best stories from the eight previous volumes and showcased them in one deluxe edition.
Talking on Tour is filled with heartwarming, off-the-cuff stories that classically capture the essence of America's most popular pastime. You'll read about Sam Snead's historic round with former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill; Tom Weiskopf's faux pas when he met Great Britain's Princess Margaret; Bobby Jones's heroic struggle with the disease that wasted his body and eventually claimed his life; Tommy Bolt's struggles (in vain) to control his temper; and the universal trials and tribulations, joys and frustrations of golfers, from the game's greatest champions to the hackers among us. This essential omnibus celebrates the people, the camaraderie, and the great spirit of the game.
