Bronson writes about the history, trends, and politics of golf, along with his personal stories of games played on courses all over the United States and around the world. I appreciate that he recounts his best and worst shots alike-in equal detail-resulting in a book that any golfer can relate to. -Nonfiction Book Awards Review
From tee to green, Joe Bronson brings his passion for golf to life in PARdon Me, the third installment in his celebrated series.
Drawing from decades of experience both as a dedicated amateur golfer and a seasoned observer of the sport, Bronson delivers a captivating collection of personal stories and reflections on the ever-challenging game. Bronson takes readers on a journey through iconic courses, unforgettable rounds, and his musings on the evolution of golf-from the golden days pre-pandemic to the new boom in popularity. With chapters covering the highs and lows of playing alone, battling slow play, and the challenges of professional tournaments, Bronson offers a unique perspective on what makes golf such a special game.
Whether recounting his memorable Pro-Am experiences-including a memorable round with the legendary Arnold Palmer-or reflecting on his local rounds at famed courses like Pebble Beach and the royal and ancient St. Andrews, Bronson's wit, insight, and enduring love for the game shines through. PARdon Me is not just about golf; it's about life, perseverance, and the endless pursuit of improvement, making it a must-read for every golfer-duffer, amateur or seasoned pro. In this third installment, Joe shares:
- Personal tales from iconic golf courses around the world
- Insights into the pandemic's impact on golf's resurgence
- Humorous and heartfelt stories of Bronson's adventures in Pro-Am tournaments
- Updates on famous golf holes and the dreaded shank
Join Joe Bronson as he continues to share his lifelong dedication to the game, reminding readers why golf is more than just a sport-it's a way of life.
