GOLFER’S LIFE, A(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　There has never been a golfer to rival Arnold Palmer. To the
legions of golf fans around the world, Palmer is a charismatic
hero, the winner of sixty-one tournaments on the PGA Tour and still
going strong on the Senior PGA Tour. But behind the legend, there
is the private Palmer–a man of wit, compassion, loyalty, and true
grit in the face of personal adversity.
　　Writing with the humor and candor that are as much his trademark
as his unique golf swing, Palmer narrates the deeply moving story
of his life both on and off the links. He recounts the loving
relationship he shared with his father, “Deacon” Palmer, the course
superintendent and head professional at the Latrobe Country Club
where young Arnie developed his game, his friendships and rivalries
with golf greats, his enduringly happy marriage with Winnie, his
legendary charges to triumph and titanic disasters, and his valiant
battle against cancer and remarkable recovery.
　　Arnold Palmer has lived one of the great sporting lives of the
twentieth century. Now, with the help of acclaimed golf writer
James Dodson, he has created one of the great sports
autobiographies of our time.

　　James Dodson is a contributing editor and regular columnist
for Golf magazine and golf editor for Departures magazine. His work
has appeared in GQ, Travel & Leisure, Outside, and numerous
other national magazines. His columns won the Golf Writers of
America Award in 1995. Dodson’s first book, Final Rounds, became an
instant golf classic.
