A PERFECT GIFT FOR THE ARDENT GOLFER....AS UNIQUE AS A DOUBLE EAGLE
Written with the help of golfing poets such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, George Fullerton Carnegie, Grantland Rice and Billy Collins. Laid out as a golf course with Holes (chapters) such as "St. Andrews," Agonies and Frustrations," "Advice," "Politics and War," "Links with the Devil" and "The Women's Game." The text and poems provide humorous tales, historical dramas and personal accounts that will touch the hearts and minds of golfers universally. Much of the material comes from inaccessible books and magazines published in the U.S., England and Scotland before 1930.
"...the best round of golf you will ever play without swinging a club."
--Robert Trent Jones, Jr., from the Foreward
"But surely the most avid contemporary practitioner [of golf poetry] is Leon White, a retired MIT professor and health insurance executive from Massachusetts."
John Paul Newport, The Wall Street Journal
"A contender for contemporary bard of golf poetry, with two published books and a website (golfpoet.com)..."
Joseph Kahn, The Boston Globe
