"Guaranteed to make you the life of your weekly foursome. Don Wade will remind you of why you fell in love with the game of golf in the first place."
--Matt Lauer, cohost, "Today"
Golf's master storyteller Don Wade has entertained sports fans with his often hilarious, sometimes moving, but always true golf stories in his bestselling "And Then Jack Said to Arnie . . ." series. Now available in paperback, Talking on Tour is a collection of the absolute best from the first eight volumes, showcased in one deluxe edition.
Talking on Tour is filled with heartwarming, off-the-cuff stories that capture the essence of America's most popular pastime. Here you will read about: - Sam Snead's historic round with former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill
- Tom Weiskopf's faux pas when he met Great Britain's Princess Margaret
- Bobby Jones's heroic struggle with the disease that wasted his body and eventually claimed his life
- Tommy Bolt's struggles (in vain) to control his temper
- And much more
Talking on Tour brings you onto the green and inside the clubhouse with stories that celebrate the people, the camaraderie, and the great spirit of the game.
Reader Reviews
"Talking on Tour" is an anthology of the "And then Jack Said to Arnie" seies, seven or eight smaller books in all. Good stuff, interesting stuff, some humorous, some touching, all quick read snatches and glimpses into the game of golf and its greatest names. But, having said that, this anthology was in bad need of an editor, not so much to edit out sketches, but to edit the sketches and stories when the books were combined into one. For example, there might be six or eight vignettes on a particular golfer. Rather identify the golfer as "winner of the 1946 U.S. Open" in the first vignette and let that description or identification be enough for all of the stories about this particular golfer, the golfer is identified as "winner of the 1946 U.S. Open" in each of the six or eight stories about him...Rather than edit references within a sketch, the publisher just lifted stories verbatim out of the other books. Distracting but not enough to keep you from enjoying the many good stories contained in this work... (Guess we are now wating on "And then Zach said to TBD"....) Golf is always filled with so many good and timeless stories. This book is a compilation of most of them.
