About this listen

Augusta National is golf’s Holy Grail. Navigating the azaleas to play the exclusive course that hosts The Masters is a pipe dream for every golfer. Imagine being afforded the opportunity not only to play the course, but to be able to bring your father along for the ride. To complete the priceless fantasy, Jack Nicklaus - “The Golden Bear” - hosts the round.

Through fate, coincidence and good fortune, Joe Wessel managed to find a way to make that happen. In White Fang and The Golden Bear, Wessel recounts that special round, how it came about, and what happened on the pristine grounds of Augusta National. With the help of veteran sportswriter Bill Chastain, Wessel's memoir offers the touching story of how the game of golf helped in the development of a special father-son bond and how that relationship grew first throughout Wessel’s childhood, then during his tenure as a football player-turned-coach, and finally once he was a dad himself. This book offers the perfect father-son story for any sports aficionado!

It is common to find a hero in your father when you’re young, but harder still to find your best friend in him. Their story is a truly candid account of Joe’s life thus far, and how a father’s love, guidance, and faith help him navigate his way through the incredible highs and devastating lows. While he does not regale us with any stories about badminton championships that the world so longs for, practically every other sport has played a significant part in this account. Although I admittedly know very little about sports, there was hardly a name i had not heard of in the cast of characters that are weaved throughout the author's life. Truly a great read that I was sad to see end.

This is a love letter from son to father.
