Reviews
To be cherished . . . Will entertain and enthrall . . . A nostalgic visit and reminiscence with those who fashioned golf history. --Golf Digest Compelling . . . This is the golf version of Roger Kahn's classic The Boys of Summer . . . A fascinating portrait of a time in golf much different than the corporate version of today. --Chicago Tribune Michael Bamberger is a hard-boiled reporter with a sly wit, but his bottom-line virtue is empathy. That's made him the most penetrating and insightful golf writer of our time. Men in Green is Bamberger at his best: revealing secrets, puncturing myths, adjudicating never-settled feuds. His new book has the suspenseful urgency of a detective novel, a cast of characters out of a Fellini movie, and the heart of a Charlie Brown Christmas special. If I could have only one golf book on a deserted island, Men in Green would be that book. --John Garrity, author of Ancestral Links I wish Michael Bamberger's Men in Green, about an earlier generation of PGA stars, were about 400 pages longer than it is. --Jeffrey Toobin, The New York Times Book Review PRAISE FOR MEN IN GREEN: Maybe the best golf book I've ever read. --Bill Reynolds, The Providence Journal
