Description

From the author of Paper Lion What happens when a weekend athlete – of average skill at best – joins the professional golf circuit? George Plimpton spent a month of self-imposed torture on the PGA tour to find out, meeting amateurs, pros, caddies, officials, fans and hangers-on along the way. In The Bogey Man we find golf legends, adventurers, stroke-saving theories, superstitions, and other golfing lore, and best of all, Plimpton’s thoughts and experiences – frustrating, humbling and, sometimes, thrilling – from the first tee to the last green.

About The Author

George Plimpton (1927-2003) was the bestselling author and editor of nearly thirty books, as well as the cofounder, publisher, and editor of the Paris Review. He wrote regularly for such magazines as Sports Illustrated and Esquire, and he appeared numerous times in films and on television.

Humorous but also agonizing and also unfailingly fascinating regardless of one's interest in golf. For the psychology of the sport – and this is what Mr. Plimpton is probing – there is nothing more revealing around

Other text

Plimpton will interest even the man who can't tell a pitching wedge from a putter… This is really a book about a kind of madness with rules, and anyone can appreciate the appeal of that
