Front, Back and Total: A Collection of Golf Anecdotes | Humor, History & Stories

Introduction to a love for golf

Front, Back and Total takes readers on a colorful tour through golf’s history, the present moment, and the sport’s evolving future. Rather than a single plot, the book unfolds as a mosaic of topics, each touched by humor, illustrations, and years of on‑course experience.

The author describes how a kid in a small town fell for the game and carried that fascination into adulthood, sharing memories that feel intimate, warm, and inviting. The pages invite conversation, not instruction, inviting readers to smile at familiar moments and rethink what makes the game special.
