    Spanning the last five decades, these thoughtfully selected pieces from the best golf writers of the modern era show that no sport has mirrored American culture and society as closely as golf. Schuyler Bishop's unique introductions showcase the turning points in the game, revealing the inseparable relationship between golf and life. In the introduction John Garrity writes, 'The selections are arranged by decade and destroy the stereotype of the American golfer as a middle-aged white male Republican whose last musical purchase was 'Glen Campbell's Greatest Hits'. I find the complex weave of class, income, region, race, and gender that I encounter in my own golf travels?' A Passion For Golf contains timeless classics from Bobby Jones, and Gene Sarazen, gripping pieces by the great champions Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson, plus John Updike on the Masters, Rick Reilly's look at Tiger Woods and many more. Length: 349 pages.
