THE DOWNHILLLIE is not just a book about golf, it’s a book about fathers and sons. What is it about golf that brings boys closer to their fathers?
Most people I know who play golf started playing with their fathers or mothers when they were young. When you’re a kid, it’s just a great walk on a sunny day away from all other distractions. And it’s quiet time, which every parent likes. Of course, in my case I was usually cussing so it wasn’t quite as quiet as my father would have hoped.
