In his New York Times-best seller, Final Rounds, James Dodson and his ailing
father revisited the various golf courses they had played together when James
was just learning the game. Now, in A Son of the Game: A Story of Golf, Going
Home, and Sharing Life’s Lessons, he returns to the world-renowned courses of
Pinehurst searching for a renewal of spirit…a new direction for his life. Slowly he
begins to realize that his homecoming has a larger purpose: he has the chance to
pass along his love of the game to his own son, Jack, just as his father had done
for him.
A wonderful storyteller, Dodson weaves the history of Sand Hill’s golf into his
remarkable anecdotes about the game and its unforgettable players, and, in the
process, tells his own personal story of the bonds between him and his son.
