"The Old Man and His Game is not only an extremely heartwarming story of how a boy and an old man become friends and make each other's lives richer, it is also a wonderful golf tale that shows why golfers find their game so fascinating. The old man's wisdom, his love of people, and his love for and his knowledge of golf inspire his prodigies to develop direction, character, career success, and fine golf games. This book is filled with correct, powerful mechanical and mental insights that will improve the golf games of its readers. It's truly a gift from golf's most exciting story teller, Bob Thomas." - Jim McCright, author. "The Old Man and His Game evokes emotions and personal memories for collectors, players (whether competitive or recreational), and from fathers and teachers. As a collector, we hope to experience finding the mother lode at the end of a good hunt. As players, we choose to play against others in competition, against the course, or against ourselves -- testing the fiber of our true characters as we do. As fathers and teachers, we have memories of pride as a child or student develops good sportsmanship, good moral character, and surpasses us in playing ability. This book gives us a chance to experience, and relive, all of these important roles in golf, making it a very rich golf book indeed." - Tom Irving, Golf Collectors Society #1164.
