This book focuses on the bonding and healing powers of golf between fathers and sons. Drawing from his own experiences, George Peper hits on the universal lessons of life, love, and golf learned through his relationships with his father and two sons. Most specifically, the book offers an endearing portrait of Peper's relationship over the last nine years with his 18-year-old son, Scott. The book examines their shared passion for golf and chronicles the hundreds of hours they otherwise never would have enjoyed if not for their love of chasing around a little white ball. In the process, the author reveals how their roles morphed from faultless father and worshipful son to teacher and pupil, dictator and insurgent, and ultimately, target and assassin, as son tried to outscore father over 18 holes.
