Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First edition. First printing [stated]. ix, 304 p. Illustrations. John Bentley Wright had no idea what life had in store for him when he was given a hickory-shafted mashie for his tenth birthday. That day began his love affair with the game of golf, and it would…be golf that would love him in return. With his silky British accent and a gift for painting a scene with words, Ben Wright traveled the world covering the game he adored and met the people who make the headlines. Good Bounces and Bad Lies covers the peaks and valleys of Wright's brilliant and often controversial career in the media. From his breakthrough interview in 1954 with British Open champion, Peter Thomson, to his own 1995 interview that cost him his career at CBS. Fascinating memories from going AWOL from the British Army in 1953 to see Hogan play at Carnoustie, to the many intimate conversations with the great writers and players from over four decades of sport. His articulate prose and ability to tell a tale are unrivaled, as his wit and intellect fill these pages. It has been said that Wright has lived the life of six men--Good Bounces and Bad Lies proves that he has.
