Bobby Jones Meets Beau Stedman
The great sportswriter Grantland Rice once said "Bobby Jones is not
one in a million persons…I should say he is one in ten million-or
perhaps one in fifty million." Indeed, one of the most
fascinating and timeless stories in all of sports is the legend of Bobby
Jones.
Well, if you are a fan of Bobby Jones then you probably have not
heard the story of Beau Stedman. This fictional account is written by
author J. Michael Veron who
is being praised by the critics:
“I was fortunate enough to know Bobby Jones,
“Bob” to his friends, so perhaps I derived an extra dollop of
satisfaction out of The Greatest Player Who Never Lived. But if
you have ever played just one round of golf, and appreciate clear, spare
writing with a touch of To Kill a Mockingbird, you will love this
book.”
Edwin Pope, Miami Herald
“If you like your golf history, and the love
of the game spiced up with a bit of murder and Bobby Jones, this is for
you. I guarantee it.”
Furman Bisher, Atlanta
Journal-Constitution
“It is dual parts John Grisham and John
Feinstein, a legal mystery with a golf backbone. I kept checking the
front disclaimer to make sure the book was a fictional account. This
book is a keeper.”
Dan Raley, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
