    About this ebook

    A young boy is in love with the game of golf, but he doesn’t understand why. He has a natural talent and an enviable swing but playing the game well is not enough. There’s something missing. When Jimmy, the homeless man who spends his days cheering on golfers from his usual sitting spot just off the 5th green at Old Elm Municipal Golf course goes missing, the young boy becomes curious. His quest uncovers Jimmy’s mysterious link to the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland and reveals a life in golf that not only fascinates but sends the boy on a personal journey to discover the magic of an ancient game and its deeper meaning for a young man doing his best to find his path in the world.

      The Rod That Changed Bass Fishing

      Feb 21, 2022

      IT WAS A rod you probably don’t know about from a company that you do. It didn’t change bass fishing by bursting onto the scene with wild, far-reaching, big-money acclaim. No, it was unheralded and forgotten in its own time. Still is. But it did alte
