"It begins like Great Expectations, with a character named Pip. But The Old Man and the Tee is no work of fiction. It's Turk Pipkin's story about how the death of his father, Pip, inspired him to shave ten strokes off his handicap in one year and become "the kind of golfer his father would have been proud of." On that premise, Pipkin braids a moving, humourous narrative that takes him from Callaway's fitting center, to the practice range with David Leadbetter and Dave Pelz, to Scotland, Mexico and Pebble Beach. Ben Crenshaw helps with putting, and Willie Nelson offers quirky perspective. With wit and reflection, Pipkin's quest shows us the magic in his life, both on and off the course."
Colorado Avid Golfer
"Endowed with a vivid sense of time and place… the characters are wonderfully drawn and the dialogue is sharp and colorful."
