Greatest Stories for Dads, Sons and even Daughters. A MUST READ

This book is so great that we bought several additional copies to give not only to our own sons but to others as well. There are stories that will make you cry and others that will give you pause to look at and reflect on your own relationships with your children and with others. An absolute must read for both parent and child.

Golf Dads

Really good portrayal of the essence of golfing w/ your dad. All the experiences of the game w/ the emotional attachment of enjoying each others company!

A Terrific Book - Great Gift for Father's Day

Golf Dads: Fathers, Sons, and the Greatest Game is a terrific book that I found easy to read and interesting in its exploration of the complexity of relationships of fathers and sons and how golf affects communication between generations. I am not a golf enthusiast but I loved Curt Sampson's style of writing and illuminating content. The stories of fathers and sons / daughters is a book well worth reading. I would highly recommend this book.

Reading a book and remembering Dad

I loved it. More than any book I've ever read, this one included me, if that makes any sense. I would read for a bit and then find myself lost in some memory of my own father, reminded of it by something that Sampson had written and written well. Every emotion in life, both the good and the bad, was played out in a round of golf with Dad. This book touches them all.
