Old Man And the Tee How I Took Ten Strokes Off My Game And Learned to Love Golf All over Again

As a kid caddying for his father on the sunburned links of West Texas, Turk Pipkin had dreamed of great achievements in golf. Unfortunately, life (and a noticeable lack of talent) got in the way. It was not until his father passed away that Turk realized he'd forgotten his childhood dream and had lost the simple joy he'd once found in the game. Deciding that the time for excuses was past, Turk embarked upon the golf quest of a lifetime. For twelve months he'd ignore work and other distractions and pursue his dream of becoming a dramatically better golfer. Turk sought instruction from the game's greatest teachers, put the best equipment in his bag, and played the world's finest courses, because his quixotic goal was to take ten strokes off his sixteen handicap. With lessons from David Leadbetter, Dave Pelz, and Ben Crenshaw, and with spiritual guidance from wise old men like Willie Nelson, George Plimpton, and Byron Nelson, Turk undertook an epic journey that carried him from Pebble Beach to Scotland and back again, where he risked everything on one final round for his late father. Follow Turk on the journey of a lifetime, and learn to love golf---and life---all over again.Pipkin, Turk is the author of 'Old Man And the Tee How I Took Ten Strokes Off My Game And Learned to Love Golf All over Again', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312320850 and ISBN 031232085X.
