‘This Golfing Life’ (Hardcover Book) by Michael Bamberger
‘This Golfing Life’ brings together Bamberger’s acclaimed, intimate profiles of stars such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and John Daly, as well as the behind-the scenes people who make the game what it is: In his last round of golf before an amputation, Bamberger’s high school golf coach John Sifaneck makes his first hole-in-one; Bob Rubin, a Wall Street master-of-the-universe, builds his own golf course — one so difficult he can’t break 100 on it; Howdy Giles, Arnold Palmer’s dentist, has ball markers made from Palmer’s old fillings; Bruce Edwards continues to caddie for Tom Watson while dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Bamberger interweaves these stories with his own life in a way that will remind golfers why they love the game.
