About This Week at Quail Ridge Books: May 21 – 27
Monday, May 22 @ 7 pm: James Dodson – ‘The Range Bucket List: The Golf Adventure of a Lifetime’
Golfers and sports fans, take notice! One of the premiere writers on the game of golf, James Dodson visits on Monday, May 22, at 7 pm with The Range Bucket List: The Golf Adventure of a Lifetime. When he unearthed a list of golf accomplishments he’d set for himself (as a 13-year-old golf fan), he decided to update the list and set about meeting his goals. Even if you aren’t out on the green, it’s fine armchair adventure from someone who knows his way around the golf courses of the world, from the author of Final Rounds and American Triumvirate, and a two-time winner of the USGA’s Herbert Warren Wind Award for best golf book of the year.

The program will be a conversation between Diane and WUNC‘s Frank Stasio (The State of Things).
