Veteran golf journalist Bill Fields details the process that went into writing his memoir, A Quick Nine Before Dark, A Life in Golf. Fields shares the reasons for wanting to share not just his professional journey but the details of his personal life, the challenges that came with writing a book, and what he hopes readers will take away from reading his memoir. Fields begins his book with a fascinating story about Tiger Woods, and later describes experiences flying with Arnold Palmer, covering the 1986 Masters, and the misadventure that came after covering Jean van de Velde's misfortune at The Open in 1999.
