"The Playing Lesson" - by Michael Bamberger

Michael Bamberger has been covering the game of golf for four decades. The GAME. He has always been curious and determined to tell all the stories and not just those about the best professional golfers. The Playing Lesson is classic Bamberger as he spends a year immersed in every aspect of the game of golf from caddying in pro ams, to playing in pro ams, to being involved in volunteer services at tour events, to putting lessons with Brad Faxon. Of course, Michael shares conversations with some of the most interesting people in golf. Michael is one of the game’s great writers and this lengthy conversation with Gary Williams veers in so many directions. Not surprisingly, two people who love the game talking about why it does to us what it does to us. This new book is for lovers of the whole game and this conversation tries to cover it all.
