John Baldoni likes to call himself the world’s worst golfer for as much golf as he plays. His lack of talent for the game has not dimmed his ardor for the game itself and the friends he has made playing it.

Golf Lessons: Chips, Chunks and Cheers is a love letter to the game – a collection of poems about the experience of playing and camaraderie it can produce. Baldoni distills wisdom with wry insight and joy. Baldoni’s own photography makes Golf Lessons a book to read and re-read one poem or a handful at time.
