The Bogey Man

From the author of Paper Lion What happens when a weekend athlete of average skill at best joins the professional golf circuit? George Plimpton spent a month of self-imposed torture on the PGA tour to find out, meeting amateurs, pros, caddies, officials, fans and hangers-on along the way. In The Bogey Man we find golf legends, adventurers, stroke-saving theories, superstitions, and other golfing lore, and best of all, Plimptons thoughts and experiences frustrating, humbling and, sometimes, thrilling from the first tee to the last green.
