From best selling golf writer James Dodson I've long advocated for dogs on the golf course - man's best friend meets man's favorite game. To that end, Lorrie Scardino has written a charming tale that's guaranteed to entertain for golf-minded children. Mulligan, my dog, was quite impressed as well! - James Dodson, author of Final Rounds, Faithful Travelers, Ben Hogan: An American Life, and other books
