and Other Uncommon Tales of Golf
by Gregory G. BartonThese extraordinary stories will please readers of short fiction, particularly if golf takes up a part of their lives.
From The Ryder Cup to the Bermuda Triangle. Fly with an RAF pilot as he buzzes a golf course that no one else can see, come across a magical golf club that can change one's entire life, have your bag carried by a clairvoyant caddie, play a round for the hand of a beautiful girl, find out what heaven's really like, ride the devil's own train, and get caught on a haunted links after dark. These are just a few of the adventures in this extraordinary collection of fifteen tales about golf, life, and the uncommon nature of both.

I just finished On the Fringe, a book of short stories about
golf. I read
the first story and almost cried it was so touching. Every single tale was
exquisitely crafted. The quality of these stories reminded me of the 1950s - the hay day of magazine short stories. Each one was a work of art. It was
difficult to believe this author is a professional architect and not a creative writing instructor. Whether one is a golf aficionado or not, this
book is well worth the read. Wonderful!!!
If you liked On the Fringe, try these:
