Description:

Journalist Jim Burnett here does for the women's golf tour what John Feinstein did for the men's a few years back in his bestselling A Good Walk Spoiled. By venturing inside the ropes for the entire 1996 tournament season, Burnett offers a marvelously detailed chronicle of a high-pressured, high-stakes sport; the dramas of weekly competition; and the complex personalities who play the game. But he slices off more than that. He willingly takes on the issues that surround women's golf as well--from the sexual and sociological to the financial and maternal. Like the players that it follows--Laura Davies, Dottie Pepper, Nancy Lopez, and Annika Sörenstam, among them--Tee Times hits most of the fairways and greens it targets; its aim is true, and its appreciation for the game and the spirit, perseverance, and drive of the women who play it is unmistakable.
