A Little Big Book

I just finished Final Rounds, a father, a son, the golf journey of a lifetime, a small but very powerful book. Written by James Dodson, a long time golf writer and regular contributer to Golf magazine, this is a beautifully written story about golf, life and choices made, and about death.

Without being "preachy" or sappy, it is about the nature of fatherhood, and how we influence our children, for good or for bad, by the example we set for them.

I am going to give this book to every young father I know in the hope of a better crop of dads and kids. I will tell you the end is so gloriously crafted that I cried my way through the final 30 or so painfully exquisite pages. I strongly recommend this book.
