From beloved golf writer James Dodson, author of Final Rounds and American Triumvirate and the only two-time winner of the USGA’s Herbert Warren Wind Award for best golf book of the year, The Range Bucket List is a funny, intimate, nostalgic story of the author’s improbable journey from a kid who fell in love with his father’s favorite game to one of golf’s greatest modern voices.
When James Dodson was thirteen years old, he wrote himself a list titled “Things to Do in Golf.” It included the golfing aspirations of a young North Carolina boy who had no idea where life would take him. A few years ago, now in his sixties and the one of the most influential and respected golf writers of all time, Dodson rediscovered the notebook that contained the list in an old family trunk. Realizing he had yet to achieve many of his thirteen-year-old dreams, and pondering the things he’d add to the list if he wrote it today, Dodson expanded it into a golfing “bucket list” of the remarkable people, places, and moments he’d encountered on his long journey through the game—and other things he still needed to do in golf.
Filled with unforgettable characters, untold history, and lots of heart, The Range Bucket List brings readers along to some of the most revered places in golf and into the company of legendary figures who shaped the modern game. In many ways, it’s the author’s amusing love letter to the royal and ancient game that fundamentally changed—and may have even saved—his life.
