🏌How did you do research for your book?
This was an inadvertent bonus, as I have been playing golf for over five decades. This book is a collection of poems I wrote and photos I took over that journey.
🏌What made you write a book about golf?
I always had a desire to create some projects set in the world of golf. It began in my freshman year of high school. I wrote an essay about how much I enjoyed playing a short public course alone before school in the quiet, watching, as morning dew trailed my ball across the green. I was encouraged by my teacher who complemented me on the essay as I had been a poor student and that encouragement was all-important. Since then, I have made several documentary films about golf as a central theme and wrote a screenplay adaptation of the cult classic novel, "Golf in the Kingdom," which was optioned by, Clint Eastwood and Warner Brothers.
🏌There are many books out there about golf. What makes yours different?
My book has photographs taken over decades, by friends, myself, likewise the poems all written by me were created as a testament to some personal golfing experience, often worked on in different locations such as Antarctica, Kauai, Scotland, off and on for months or years.
🏌Do you have another profession beside writing?
I am a motion picture producer, documentary filmmaker, screenwriter, and novelist.
🏌What is your next project?
Currently, I am completing, The Young Filmmakers, a memoir about fledging film directors during the violent Vietnam years of 1968-69
