Description
Teeing Off gives one of golf's most unique and well-traveled personalities a chance to, well, "tee off" on some of the most unforgettable characters and experiences he's had in a lifetime of playing and covering the royal and ancient game. Partly a memoir about a lifetime association with golf's greatest performers and most colorful characters, it is also a collection of fascinating inside reminiscences and anecdotes about the game's elite that will entertain, amuse, enlighten, and perhaps surprise readers. Included are stories about Hagen and Hogan, Nelson and Nicklaus, Palmer and Player, Sarazen and Snead, Watson and Woods, and many others by an author who has known them all, up close and personal.
