James Dodson, one of the most critically acclaimed & beloved golf journalists of all time, tells the story of an eclectic, eccentric group of men who call themselves the Dewsweepers--so named because they are the first players off the tee every weekend morning at an old club in upstate New York. "Adopted" by the Dewsweepers, Dodson sets out through the seasons of one all-too-brief golf year to try & get back in touch with the simpler joys & uncomplicated leisures that once made him fall madly in love with the royal & ancient game. As friendship deepens & each man's tale movingly & sometimes hilariously unfolds, the author's own life is ultimately tested, examined, & changed--for the better. Through laughter & tears, he reveals intimate details, & finds that each Dewsweeper--including & maybe especially the author himself--needs golf & friendship at the core of his life.Dodson, James is the author of 'Dewsweepers: Seasons of Golf and Friendship' with ISBN 9780525945826 and ISBN 0525945822.
