Golfers on Golf is a celebration of a shared passion for the game of golf, a passion that, in its intensity, is unique, enduring and addictive. From the witty to the profound, from the delightful and surprising to the silly and informative, Golfers on Golf is entertaining, sophisticated fun. Perhaps most of all, the quotations in this book are inspiring. As Downs MacRury writes in his introduction, "inspiration reminds us why we love something or someone in the first place. Inspiration refreshes our memory." Golfers on Golf is for all those who want to be reminded of golf's mysterious and powerful attraction. From Tiger Woods to Arnold Palmer, from Chi Chi and The Shark to Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones, from Nicklaus and Watson to Player and Faldo, from Babe Didrikson and Nancy Lopez to Gene Sarazen and Raymond Floyd, from Els and Zoeller and Jacobsen to Trevino and Couples and Azinger, the greats of the game share a lifetime of experiences. Golfers on Golf is a book full of memories. And laughter. And wisdom. But most of all, Golfers on Golf is about what Sammy Snead said was the most important of golf's lessons, "What we put into life is what we get out in return." Golf is intended to be both lived and loved. Enjoy the game.

Store description
I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more.
Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
