Publisher's note

When acclaimed golf writer James Dodson leaves his home in Maine to revisit Pinehurst, North Carolina, where his father first taught him the game that would shape his life and career, he's at a point where he has lost direction. But once there, the curative power of the sandhills region not only helps him find a new career working for the local paper but also reignites his flagging passion for the game of golf. And, perhaps more significantly, it inspires him to try to pass along to his teenage son the same sense of joy and contentment he has found in the game, and to recall the many colorful and lifelong friends he has met on the links.
This wise memoir about finding new meaning through an old sport is filled with anecdotes about the history of the game and of Pinehurst, the home of American golf, where many larger-than-life legends played some of their greatest rounds. Dodson's bestselling memoir "Final Rounds" began in Pinehurst twenty-five years ago, and now "A Son of the Game" completes the circle as it follows his journey of discovery back to where his love of the game began-a love that he hopes to make a family legacy.

Annotation

In this nostalgic and sentimental memoir, journalist James Dodson returns to his hometown of Pinehurst, North Carolina, and rekindles his love for golf on the same courses where his father first taught him the game. In the midst of a midlife crisis, Dodson seeks refuge on the links, as he fondly recalls his relationship with his father and hopes to share a similar bonding experience with his own son.
