Product Description
Teenagers are notorious for differences with their parents, but George Peper has been lucky to share a special friendship with his 18-year-old son, Scott. For the past decade, the two have bonded over a mutual passion for golf, spending hundreds of hours together they would never have enjoyed if not for their love of chasing around a little white ball. Now, Peper examines their relationship, analyzing how their roles have morphed from faultless father and worshipful son to teacher and pupil, dictator and insurgent, and ultimately, target and assassin, as son tries to outscore father over 18 holes. In an endearing portrait, George Peper hits on the universal lessons of life, love, and golf-as he's learned them from his teenage son.

For those of us who love golf and have children,George Peper's book, Playing Partners, is a must read. Golf, like children, is a life time endeavor, sometimes rewarding, often frustrating but deeply enjoyable. This book captures all the subtleties of these parallel pursuits and shows that there is no magic formula for success, just hard work and practice.
