Book Description
"The game," writes Michael Arkush, "is a rite of passage for the father sharing his expertise with the child he is training for the future--the same child who, almost inevitably, will dethrone him at the first opportunity." All of the 25 professional golfers who relate their tales of golf life with Dad eventually did out-drive, out-chip, and out-putt their old men, but all acknowledge appreciatively the essential roles their fathers played in the journey, and it is to them that they offer homage. Interestingly, the lasting legacies go beyond the essentials on grip and stance: it is the intangibles that fly the course from tee to green here. Jack Nicklaus thanks his father for instilling self-confidence; Arnold Palmer praises his father for teaching him how to lose; Amy Alcott is grateful that her father let her know the only barriers in her way were those of her own making; Calvin Peete extols his father's insistence that he be a leader, not a follower. If Fairways and Dreams fairly overdoses on its own inspiration and sweetness, that's its intention; you'll find testimonials worth respecting, and lessons worth learning and remembering. --Jeff Silverman

Book Description
This novel is a story of two different loves from a young individual by the name of Daxton Gainnes. Daxton is a single man in his lower twenties living in a small town in Arizona called Show Low. Golf is the only thing he has in life and loves every second of it, until one day he is convinced to move to Phoenix Arizona to enroll at Arizona State University. Everything is moving nice and slow in his life until he meets Shirley Moreno, a Hispanic girl who is better at golf than he is. He slowly gives up his dreams to play golf collegiately and professionally in order to help Shirley with her own dreams. Just like all relationships, Daxton and Shirley's relationship has its difficulties. Shirley has an ex-boyfriend, Kevin, that does not believe he and Shirley ever separated, even though she has made it known to him countless times. Kevin does all he can to make Daxton's life miserable and succeeds several times. However, such as real life, a heart has a way of overlooking pain and misery for true love, even if it is just for one summer and Daxton pushes through the hard times just to be with Shirley. The majority of Fairways and Dreams takes place in Phoenix Arizona, where a tender relationship begins to blossom. Shirley and Daxton spend every day together to help Shirley practice for an upcoming two-day tournament, where the winner of the tournament receives her LPGA card for a year. Daxton is more than ecstatic when Shirley asks him to be her caddie for the tournament. Kevin has other ideas about where Daxton should be and makes it known to him.

Book Description
India remains a country mired in poverty, with two-thirds of its 1.3 billion people living on little more than a few dollars a day. Just as telling, the country's informal working population numbers nearly 500 million, or approximately eighty percent of the entire labor force. Despite these figures and the related structural disadvantages that imperil the lives of so many, the Indian elite maintain that the poor need only work harder and they, too, can become rich. The results of this ambitious ten-year ethnography at exclusive golf clubs in Bangalore shatter such self-serving illusions. In Narrow Fairways, Patrick Inglis combines participant observation, interviews, and archival research to show how social mobility among the poor lower-caste golf caddies who carry the golf sets of wealthy upper-caste members at these clubs is ultimately constrained and narrowed. The book highlights how elites secure and extend class and caste privileges, while also delivering a necessary rebuke to India's present development strategy, which pays far too little attention to promoting quality healthcare, education, and other basic social services that would deliver real opportunities to the poor.
