From the Back Cover
Humorous but also agonizing and unfailingly fascinating, regardless of one’s interest in golf. For the psychology of the sport and this is what Mr. Plimpton is probing there is nothing more revealing around.”
New York Times Golf is a lonely and private game, lacking the natural drama of football, but Plimpton, by substituting improvisation for plot, has caught its mad comedy and bizarre effects on people in a book just as charming, in its own way, as Paper Lion.”
Life magazine What happens when a weekend athlete of average skill joins the professional golf circuit? George Plimpton finds out during a month of self-imposed torture on the PGA tour. In The Bogey Man he describes golf legends, adventurers, stroke-saving theories, superstitions, and other golfing lore, as well as his thoughts and experiences frustrating, humbling, and, sometimes, thrilling from thfe last green. This classic remains one of the wittiest books ever written on golf.
