Roger Schillerstrom’s Drawn to Golf is a different "look" at the game we love. For almost 20 years, Roger Schillerstrom has been providing editorial cartoons to several of the most respected and well-read publications produced by Crain Communications. In 1995, Golfweek magazine (another Crain product) asked Schillerstrom to turn his creative eye toward the game of golf and create cartoons to complement its weekly "commentary" pages. The pairing was an immediate success and it continues to this day. Drawn to Golf is a carefully selected collection of the most clever and insightful cartoons that Roger has produced for Golfweek over the past eight years. Few, if any, of golf’s most controversial, comical, or sad moments have been overlooked. From the stunning emergence of possibly the greatest player ever – Tiger Woods – to the tragic loss of fan-favorite Payne Stewart. From Jean Van de Velde’s collapse at Carnoustie, to David Duval’s breakthrough at the British Open. And from hot balls heading down the fairway, to hot tempers at the Solheim Cup.

These are the folks who practice chip shots in elevators with invisible wedges. These are the people on the golf course in parkas on the first day the temperature tops 30 degrees. These are the junkies who spend hundreds of hours searching pharmaceutical companies' websites for a cure for the "yips". These golfers are "nuts" and the anecdotal stories of Golf Nuts are proof. In pathological putting circles, author Ron Garland is known as the "Head Nut" of the Golf Nuts Society, an organization that he founded which now boasts a vast membership of "nuts", and these are his favorite accounts from a group of seemingly normal people with an abnormal obsession.

The Dodsons always knew where to go to solve their problems: the golf course. For decades, father and son took refuge there together; in the game, they found connection. Dodson fils's memoir of his last lyrical golf excursion with his father, taken through England and Scotland in the months before his father's death, is alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking. Final Rounds is as straight a shot into the heart of golf's magnetic hold on golfers--and the tie that binds fathers and sons--as a 300-yard drive that splits the fairway.

Nothing lasts forever. Missing Links is a testament to how ephemeral even great golf courses designed by master architects can be. It's enough to break a hacker's heart. In this lovely homage to what once was, Daniel Wexler identifies 47 historically significant pre-World War II courses lost largely to the needs of post-World War II development, and then proceeds to tee up their stories. Some of the courses loom as mythically large as Atlantis--Charles Blair Macdonald's Lido Golf Club on Long Island is still considered one of the most innovative designs ever, and A.W. Tillinghast's Fresh Meadow Country Club not only hosted the first PGA Championship, it boasted Gene Sarazen as head pro. Each of the lost gems is presented with a history filled with anecdotes, a complete diagram of the layout, a scorecard, and as many vintage photos as Wexler could fit. Most intriguing, Wexler also projects how each course might measure up today. Lido, insists Wexler, would still have golf traditionalists salivating--it would be, he surmises, "one of America's best... Every bit as good today as the day it was born." Amazingly, Missing Links evocatively extols dozens more nearly as worthy. --Jeff Silverman

I miss the putt. I miss the putt. I miss the putt. I make. -- Seve Ballesteros, explaining his four-putt on the 16th green at the 1986 Masters "At 15 we put down my bag to hunt for a ball, found the ball, lost the bag." -- Lee Trevino, at Royal Birkdale "He told me he caddied in the same group with me in the Hot Springs Open. That's why I voted for him, because he was a caddie." -- Tommy Bolt, on Bill Clinton "That's Jack Benny. He's always out there on bad days like that looking for golf balls." -- Bing Crosby, after a skin diver emerged from the water at the 16th hole of the Crosby Pro-Am "I went to bed and I was old and washed up. I woke up a rookie. What could be better?" -- Ray Floyd, on turning 50 and qualifying for the Senior Tour "Worst haircut I've ever seen in my life. And I've had a few bad ones. It looks like he has a divot over each ear." -- David Feherty, on a John Daly haircut
