Price: US$17.00 + shipping
Condition: Fine
Description: John Updike has been writing about golf since he took the game up at the age of twenty-five. In the nearly forty years of pleasurable bafflement that have followed, he has composed essays for 'Golf Digest' and short stories for 'The New Yorker' concerning the sport; he has contributed to tournament programs and walked such fictional characters as Rabbit Angstrom and Tom Marshfield through the details of a round. Few have written as sympathetically, as knowingly, about the peculiar charms of _bad_ golf, and the satisfactions of an essentially losing struggle. The camaraderie of golf, the perils of its present boom, how to relate to caddies, and how to manage short putts are among the many topics covered. These thirty pieces of pure gold have been dug up from a great variety of sources. Some have been published in one or another of Mr. Updike's other collections; most have not. All have the lilt of a love song, and the crispness of a firm chip stiff to the pin. Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} FF
