Slow Dancing with Bobby Jones

0/5 ( ratings)

From his home in a utility closet at a rundown golf course to the deck of a multimillion dollar yacht, from a prison cell to golf with the President of the United States, from the caddy lot to international acclaim as a player, celebrity and sex symbol, thatas the wild, often wacky journey of Eddie Weaver in Slow Dancing with Bobby Jones. In this warm, humorous story, Eddie is handed the secret of golf that golfers have long believed exists somewhere out there. It was passed to him from the great Bobby Jones through an old man doing time in prison. Trailed by rowdy, looney friends with nicknames like Dawg and Preacher, Eddie swings his way to the top of the game and beyond, to riches he has never imagined, to such adoration that there is even a line of womenas lingerie named for him, but he is not comfortable with this runaway success and all it brings. His gritty background, the burden of being an ex-convict, as well as the battle to keep his secret from being uncovered, haunt him and make him long for a simpler life. Eddie wins tournaments at an unprecedented rate and draws close to Jack Nicklausa record for major championships, a record thought safe for decades if not forever. His chase and his search for peace in his frantic world reach a climax at the U.S. Open with the record at stake and with Tiger Woods, a hot Mexican kid named Taco and his toughest opponent a himself a standing in his way.
