Welcome to The Club -- Golf's Valhalla -- where all that's necessary for admission is an intense love of the game. Here you'll watch the greatest players replay their victories...and their defeats...as they search for golf's hidden and seemingly inaccessible meaning. Like W.P. Kinsella's Shoeless Joe -- the basis for the movie Field of Dreams -- Follow the Wind is sports fantasy at its finest and most poignant. A young man following an errant shot into the woods emerges on a totally unfamiliar golf course. The first person he encounters is the legendary Ben Hogan, feverishly practicing for something special. As Links weaves his tale, introducing such golfing greats as Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Alister MacKenzie, and the famous nineteenth century Scottish champions Old and Young Tom Morris, he recreates the most momentous events in golfing history and captures the magic that has lured millions to the fairway. For fans of Harvey Penick's books and for everyone who has searched for inspiration on the golf course, Follow the Wind offers the satisfaction of a perfect shot that soars for the flagstick.

Riverbank Tweed and Roadmap Jenkins: Tales from the Caddie Yard

For over 500 years, golfers have tried to express what makes the game so special. There have been novels, short stories, essays, coffee table photo books and collections of art. But never has there been a book like this. Here, in Golf Poems, is an enchanting collection of poetry that touches on the fundamental feelings, fears, hopes, aspirations and thoughts that every true golfer knows and appreciates. You will be uplifted by The Spirit of Golf; delighted by Up Against A Kid; moved by Guardians of the Game; and you will also travel vicariously to St. Andrews, Pebble Beach and Bandon Dunes to experience what makes those places so special.Golf Poems is meant to be a little book that a golfer can put in his or her pocket and enjoy by the fireside, at the bar in the clubhouse, or while walking down the fairway. With photographs accompanying the verses, the reader will have an experience that lifts the words off the page and provides a fuller, deeper meaning.Golf Poems does not replace other books, but adds to the lore and mystique that is golf itself. It is a wonderful gift for any golfer. Many of these verses - or parts of them - make for memorable toasts wherever golfers gather to celebrate the game they love so much.
