Golf Stories

Another perfect gift for Father’s Day: a wonderful gathering of short fiction about the famously addictive pastime.

Here are classics by such golf- loving writers as P. G. Wodehouse, Ring Lardner, and John Updike, mixed with surprises like an appearance by Ian Fleming’s James Bond and a little crime on the links from mystery master Ian Rankin. Here, too, is a tale of romance on the greens from F. Scott Fitzgerald, a little-known gem by famous golf architect A. W. Tillinghast, and a story by humorist Rex Lardner that just may be the single funniest thing ever written about golf.

Golf Stories is as enticing and entertaining as the great game itself.
