Drew
Murray, a 13-year-old neighbor of the HVWC, has just published
Caddywhack! A Kid's Eye View of Golf about a sport he has loved
since age four. The book grew out of a Father's Day card he made for his
father and kept adding to over the years.
Also
appearing at this "fathers and golf" reading is George
Peper, the long-time editor-in-chief of GOLF Magazine,
and a writer who encouraged Murray to go ahead and try to get published.
Peper has himself just published a father-son golf book, a memoir called
Playing Partners: A Father, a Son, and Their Shared Addiction to Golf.
Like Murray’s, Peper's life in golf began early. Since the day he first caddied for his father, golf has been his career, his hobby, his obsession. While Playing Partners primarily describes Peper's nine-year golfing relationship with his younger son, Scott, stories of Peper's other golf experiences and tips learned from the pros he met through GOLF Magazine are also included.
Peper is the author of numerous golf history and instructional books, such as Golf Courses of the PGA Tour and Golf in America: The First 100 Years, as well as the co-author with Bill Murray (Drew's uncle) of the best-selling Cinderella Story. A personal memoir is quite a departure, says his wife, who describes it with a laugh as "very honest." She promises that she and other family members will be on hand to defend themselves!
