?What if you set off on a vacation trip in search of history?and your destination was the men who had been president??Asking himself that tantalizing question, bestselling author and award-winning journalist Bob Greene embarked on a long journey across the breadth of the nation, hoping to spend time with Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George Bush and Ronald Reagan. The result of his odyssey is Fraternity.Rich with the sounds of the presidents? own voices, Fraternity is dramatic, surprising, funny, revealing, inspiring, tragic, touching and unforgettable: a story destined to be read and enjoyed not just now, but far into the future as Americans think about who we are as a people.Here is Nixon, in an unmarked office high above Manhattan, explaining the reason for his solitary walks through New York streets at 5:30 every morning. Here is Carter, riding in a Secret Service van, recalling the sting of his family?s being mocked for their rural Southern heritage, even after he had won the White House. Here is Ford, beside a golf course fairway, laughing at his startled discovery that of all his presidential papers, the one worth the most on the open market was a letter from a woman who tried to kill him. Here is Bush, on the road with his son, remembering his despair and anger at encountering a swastika carved into the sand behind an elegant resort on American soil. And here is Nancy Reagan, in a Beverly Hills hotel, on the haunting first night she must stand in for her husband after the announcement of his illness.A travelogue of the national spirit that chronicles a quest stretching over fifteen years and starring the biggest names in the modern American saga, this is living history of the most human kind, and Bob Greene at his very best.From the Hardcover edition.

Hawai'i is a paradise, especially for real estate salesmen. But Ron Crockett, recently arrived from the mainland and amazingly successful in marketing properties, finds a serpent in paradise. The snake is in the form of his boss, Dale Matthias. Unloved while alive, he is a far worse problem when found dead in his office, since Ron is suspected of killing him. The evidence is overwhelming, and even Ron's attorney, Kay Yoshinobu, can't see how he can possibly be innocent or, worse yet, that any jury will believe he is. There's motive (Dale had just fired him), means (the murder weapon--a golf club) right there by the body, and opportunity (Ron is discovered holding the club over his deceased employer just minutes after his death). Inevitably, and over the protests of husband Sid Chu, Kay begins the search for other suspects—of which there are many—since Dale was adept at amassing enemies. Even more important is her growing conviction that Ron may in fact be innocent of the crime, though the circumstances of Dale's death seem to make that extremely unlikely—Ron seemingly having been the only one in the office at the time of Dale's demise. Suspects range from Dale's wife and his ex-wife, to all of his employees, to angry clients and to virtually anyone who had dealings with him . . . and most of the likeliest suspects have no alibi for the time of his death. But with no proof against anyone else, Ron's trial is inevitable, and the proceedings are exacerbated by a prosecuting attorney who sees a successful conviction as a step up to higher office. Kay pulls out all the stops to defend Ron and, as it turns out, her legal skills may very well have been all too successful.

The hilarious sequel to Rick Reilly?s beloved bestselling golf novel Missing LinksLife is going pretty well for Raymond ?Stick? Hart. He?s happily married to the former Ponkaquogue Municipal Golf Club assistant pro, the beauteous Cajun firecracker Dannie, raising his rambunctious son, Charlie, and getting by writing smart-mouthed greeting cards for fifty bucks a pop. Best of all, nothing has changed at Ponky, the worst golf course in America. You still have to hook it past the toxic waste dump on No. 1 and under the billboard on No. 8, the fried-egg sandwiches are terrible but cheap, and his pal Two Down is always up for a sucker bet.Then, one disaster of a day, Stick?s world does a ten-car pile-up. The cheapskate bastard owner of Ponky announces he?s retiring to a nudist camp in Florida and selling the club to the Mayflower Club next door, a bastion of blue-blood snobbery that plans to pave Ponky over. Worse, its membership includes Stick?s hated father. Who promptly drops dead. Just before Stick?s pal Two Down loses $12,000 to a golf hustler who turns out to be funded by the Russian mob. Which is about the same time that Hoover, Ponky?s worst golfer and the owner of an impressive array of useless golf gadgets purchased with his wife?s money, learns she?ll cut him off if he doesn?t break a hundred in one month. Then a practical joke makes Dannie believe that Stick?s been stepping out with the gorgeous new clubhouse girl, the eye-popping Kelly, and he?s soon living on the forty-year-old couch in the Ponky clubhouse. Luckily, Stick has a solution to all his problems. He?ll qualify for the British Open.

Butch Harmon is the world?s number one golf coach. He taught Tiger Woods through one of the greatest stretches of victories in golf history (and, perhaps even more conspicuously, did not teach Tiger Woods following his unprecedented run), as well as superstars like Greg Norman, Adam Scott, Fred Couples, Darren Clarke, Natalie Gulbis, and Davis Love III. How did he become such a legendary teacher and mentor? The answer is simple: He learned from watching his father.The Harmons are the First Family of golf, and Claude Harmon, Sr., was the greatest of them all. His skill as a player, an innovator, a teacher, a devoted father, a loyal friend, and a peer of giants such as Ben Hogan has gone largely unappreciated by all but those who knew him best. In this book by his son, he finally gets his due. In The Pro, Butch Harmon paints a compelling portrait of an era in sports before the emergence of big media and bigger money, and shows how the lessons he learned about life and golf at his father?s knee made him the man he is today.The Pro is both a family and a golf memoir, as well as an inside look at what it takes to teach the Tigers of the world. It describes how Butch and his brothers, who are also teachers, transfer their father?s unique wit, wisdom, and philosophy to the next generation of golfers. Sometimes their advice relates to the game, sometimes they simply offer words of encouragement and motivation, sometimes they make pointed criticisms intended to shock their students into focus, and sometimes they try to impart simple advice about ?walking around through life.? The Harmon brothers are teachers who share a special quality: All of their lessons are passed down from their father.Millions of golf fans know Butch Harmon; many are even familiar with his father and brothers. But never before have we been given such an intimate look at life among the legends of golf. The Pro is the story of an extraordinary father and son that will resonate with anyone who has ever looked back on life and recognized the wisdom of their parents? teachings."Golf's hard," Dad would say, pointing a meaty finger at me as if he were about to reveal the secret of the Rosetta Stone. ?Good golf is damn hard, and championship golf is something only a few will ever see. But that?s how it should be. If it were easy, everybody would do it. And where?s the fun in that??From Butch Harmon, the world?s number one golf coach, comes the inside story of how he learned everything he knows about golf and life from his father, Claude Harmon, Sr. Both a family memoir and a reminiscence of growing up among the legends of sport, The Pro is a portrait of one extraordinary family and the game that will carry their legacy for years to come.From the Hardcover edition.

Golf: it? s that simple, and that bedeviling, and that? s what it comes down to when Charlie McLeod? having fled unspecified disaster back East? turns up at a golf club near San Francisco and is entranced again by a game that had defined him until, years ago, he had to give it up. Now he begins caddying, a job that respects every privacy and motivation, while wrestling with those things that had exiled him not only from the sport but from life itself. In the profane, reassuring yet competitive world of the caddy shack, lost souls jostle for position, sometimes among well-heeled members, men whose passion for golf is often perverted by their own frustrations. What they revere in common, though, is the player whose mastery defies all understanding? and in this role Charlie will either find a new start or shatter everything once more. A story of love, challenge, and redemption, a thrilling debut and an immediate classic of golf writing.

Accu-Hit Grip The AccuHit is a durable, highly efficient training accessory, made from Sanoprene. The AccuHit is designed to help keep the right hand (for RH golfers) out of play until needed during the swing. Mental stress and fatigue cause finger pincer tension that results in a premature release of energy and undesired shot patterns. The AccuHit can be used by any golfer, whether a beginner or a professional. Low handicap golfers see improved performance when using the AccuHit with their driver and long irons. This is due to the driver and long irons having less loft than any other club. Square contact through the ball is harder to make, and the ball sidespin caused by these clubs inherently dominates the direction of the ball’s flight. The AccuHit helps to alleviate the problems caused by sidespin when using less lofted clubs. Beginner and high handicap golfers who use the AccuHit find an improved performance when using both their irons and woods. The AccuHit allows the beginning golfer to unconsciously develop competence in the ball striking abilities by gaining the proper feel for each club without overtly trying to manipulate the club with the hands. The AccuHit is easy and simple to use. Just slip the AccuHit onto the club shaft with the slotted opening towards you. Proceed to slide the AccuHit onto the Golf grip, approximately one inch from where the grip meets the shaft. Only place the lower hand's forefinger and thumb onto the AccuHit. Starting with a pitching wedge, alternate hitting shots with the AccuHit on and off the grip. You will soon develop a feeling of the club and hands working together and a greater sensitivity for the feel of the clubhead.
