Book Review of 'And Then Jack Said to Arnie...': A Collection of the Greatest True Golf Stories of All Time

'And Then Jack Said to Arnie...': A Collection of the Greatest True Golf Stories of All Time
reviewed on + 11 more book reviews


Golf Digest editor Wade's compilation of golf tales blends poignant, humorous, intriguing, and eye-opening stories about the people and places of the game. Giving credence to the many eclectic, well-written stories with his first-person narrative, Wade provides an interesting and insightful view of the game. Events he has witnessed or accounts related to him directly include stories about golfers Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Weiskopf, as well as country singer Willie Nelson and the venerable St. Andrews' golf course. To say this is a collection of the "greatest" golf stories is unjustifiable. However, many of these are great stories and well worth reading. For most sports collections.
