Condition: Used - Very Good. Product Description There's a group that comes out here Fridays, said my golfing partner, that you want to avoid, he said, his tone insinuating that one of them might drop a sixty-five-foot putt that would empty your wallet.One day, undaunted, I anteed up twenty dollars and joined them. Walking off the sixth green, after three putts, I said, I've had five books published and can't even read a doggone green. Why don't you do a book about our group? one of them said. You'd hear some unbelievable stories, see some unforgettable things, things that no one would imagine. The characters! I liked their independent manner, their swagger, their dark humor, and their good fellowship. A number of them grew up around or worked for the mafia; some work in landscaping or repair golf clubs. Those in their sixties and seventies have competed for up to forty years, creating an anthology of old stories, with new ones unfolding day to day. Kidding, sharp-edged and dull, cuts between the Romanians and Italians, Puerto Ricans and Romanians, older Anglos and Mexicans, bombs landing on political correctness wrong side. And, yet, common interest in golf and gambling (on anything) keeps competition amicable. About the Author Richard Younker was born in Chicago and attended the University of Chicago, where he received a B.A. in psychology. He has been employed as a mailman, sixth-grade teacher, encyclopedia salesman, shipping clerk, actor, and singer. As a photojournalist for the last thirty-nine years, he has contributed forty photo essays to the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times Sunday magazines, Chicago Magazine, and the Chicago Reader.
