Men in Green (A Golf Bestseller)

The instant New York Times bestseller from acclaimed Sports Illustrated writer Michael Bambergerâ€”a warm, nostalgic, intimately reported account of golfâ€™s greatest generation, and â€œmaybe the best golf book Iâ€™ve ever readâ€ (Bill Reynolds, The Providence Journal).

With â€œexceptional insight into some of Americaâ€™s greatest players over the last half-centuryâ€ (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Men in Green is to golf what Roger Kahnâ€™s The Boys of Summer was to baseball: a big-hearted account of the sportâ€™s greats, from the household names to the private legends, those behind-the-curtain giants who never made the headlines.

Michael Bamberger, who has covered the game for twenty years at Sports Illustrated, shows us the big names as weâ€™ve never seen them before: Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Curtis Strange, Fred Couplesâ€”and the late Ken Venturi. But he also chronicles the legendary figures known only to insiders, who nevertheless have left an indelible mark on the sport. Thereâ€™s a club pro, a teaching pro, an old black Southern caddie. Thereâ€™s a tournament director in his seventies, a TV director in his eighties, and a USGA executive in his nineties. All these figures, from the marquee names to the unknowns, have changed the game. What they all share is a game that courses through their collective veins like a drug.

Was golf better back in the day? Men in Green weaves a history of the modern game that is personal, touching, inviting, and new. This meditation on aging and a celebration of the game is â€œa nostalgic visit and reminiscence with those who fashioned golf historyâ€¦and should be cherishedâ€ (Golf Digest).
