The
King And I
An Unlikely Journey from Fan to Friend Foreword
by Arnold Palmer Photos & text by Howdy Giles Introduction
by James Dodson
Golf
is a game that lends itself to enduring relationships;
perhaps the most remarkable friendship is between
PGA Tour Legend Arnold Palmer and his well-known dentist
and photographer Howdy Giles. From a brief encounter
nearly 50 years ago when Giles snapped a photo of
his hero in a passing parade, to the more than 250,000
photos Giles has taken to date, this fan has become
a friend.
Published on the eve of Palmer's 80th birthday, this
photographic tribute provides the most intimate and
revealing portrait we have seen yet of this authentic
American hero. Hard Cover.

The Ultimate Golf Book
A
lively, authoritative history, stunning illustrations,
and perhaps the finest collection of original writing
on the sport ever assembled. Putting a fresh, contemporary
spin on the centuries-old story of golf, Sports Illustrated's
,John Garrity has written a delightful, loose-limbed
riff of a history that travels the globe and the links,
covering the key personalities, events, and advances
in technique and technology, the proliferation of
interest, and the curious mysteries of this international
obsession.
Complementing the history are twenty personal essays
from a diverse group of literary low-handicappers,
musing on everything from the Age of Tiger, to the
woes of the lowly club pro, to the charm of playing
golf in the dead of winter, to giving up the game
altogether.

A Classic. Every time Harvey Penick
found something about the swing, stance or the mental

60 years and
let no one read them, except his son Tinsley, until

about life.
