Aren't You That Golf Guy?

“Rich is one of our finest storytellers and interviewers. Whenever I sit down with Rich, his knowledge of the game and its history is always evident. More importantly, he has a style that turns an interview into a conversation among friends. Rich has an appreciation for the characters in our game and the stories living outside the ropes. There’s plenty of that in Rich’s book to entertain you. Well done, Rich!”–Jack Nicklaus “The Golden Bear”

“No one tells a better story than Rich. This book is great.”–Rory McIlroy, career Grand Slam winner

“From Tiger to Rory, Samuel L. Jackson to Will Ferrell, these are more than golf stories. They’re memorable and funny stories.”–Dan Patrick, host of The Dan Patrick Show

“No one else in golf can pivot so effortlessly and eloquently from talking about, say, Rory McIlroy’s career grand slam to–and I kid you not–an indelible childhood memory of witnessing Elmer Hertzmark talcum-powdering his cantaloupes in the locker-room. Rich Lerner is a hall-of-fame storyteller. I’ll be stealing his best work when he’s gone, and I won’t be alone.”–Eamon Lynch, Golfweek Columnist and Golf Channel Commentator

“You know how good Rich Lerner is at the majors, tethered to his broadcast desk? Here is Rich at large, tethered to nothing, and he’s even better. Rich’s life in golf is the road story to end all golfing road stories. His book is a joyride.”–Michael Bamberger, author, The Second Life of Tiger Woods and This Golfing Life

“The material on the legends like Tiger and Rory is fantastic, but it’s the characters from Rich’s childhood–Izzy and Elmer and Frank and Shim–that I’ll remember. Beautifully drawn out and, in many cases, hilarious. What a fun read.”–Ian Eagle, NFL, NBA, and NCAA Final Four play-by-play announcer

“Life and comedy are about being in the right place at the right time. Rich Lerner spent his life being in the right place at the right time. You will love this book.”–Sam Torrance, Ryder Cup legend

“Rich is one of our finest storytellers. Deeply versed in golf, its people, and its history. I’m honored to call him my friend, and I highly recommend his book as a must-read!”–Ben Crenshaw, Masters Champion and World Golf Hall of Famer
