''.As Mike Purkey of GOLF Magazine and president of the Golf Writers Association of America said, ". I have never come across a book with such a a valuable collection of unique stories." Golf stories such as: the "midnight lesson" given to a reputed mobster, the ingenious construction of the special club designed for Alan Shepard's famous moon shot, and the teaching professional who boldly told Clint Eastwood that he must listen more carefully . and then realized he had just upset "Dirty Harry." How about the PGA member who asks Bill Gates to leave his driving range, or the unbelievable odds of four amateur golfers playing together in a local tournament and each achieving their first holes-in-one on four different par-3s on the same day? Since 1916, The PGA of America has contributed to, and shaped, the game of golf. If you have ever played golf and encountered a PGA Professional, you know how dedicated they are to the game of golf and to ensuring that your golf experience is always an enjoyable one in whatever capacity they serve: teacher, colleague, inspiration. Many of the stories in A Spirit of Golf highlight the dedication of time and talent of some of the more than 26,000 strong men and women PGA Professionals. A Spirit of Golf seeks not only to entertain, but to inspire more people to play the game of golf and to motivate more golfers to take advantage of the skill PGA Professionals bring to the game." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
