Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
What happens when a weekend athlete - of average skill at best - joins the professional golf circuit? George Plimpton, one of the finest participatory sports journalists, spent a month of self-imposed torture on the tour to find out. Along the way, he meets amateurs, pros, caddies, officials, fans, and hangers-on. In The Bogey Man, we find golf legends, adventurers, stroke-saving theories, superstitions, and other golfing lore and, best of all, Plimpton's thoughts and experiences.

Good book
Reviewed: 08-10-21
I’m very please with this purchase. Plimpton’s yarns about all things golf are most entertaining. If you are looking for a book with gritty details about life on the PGA tour, you may want to look elsewhere. This book is light-hearted, sometimes silly, and best of all, hilarious.
