ANOTHER ROUND OF INSPIRATION AND INSTRUCTIONWhen Harvey Penick signed copies of his now classic first book, Harvey Penicks Little Red Book, Bud Shrake, his coauthor, noticed that he often inscribed them with the line "To my fried and pupil." When Shrake asked him why, Penick replied "Well, if you read my book, youre my pupil, and if you play golf, youre my friend."Taking up where the Little Red Book left off, this is the second dose of Penicks singular brand of wit and wisdom, full of the simple and easy-to-understand lessons on golf that Penick is known and admired for. Like its predecessor, And If You Play Golf, Youre My Friend is rich with Penicks great love of the game, a love that he delighted in sharing with golfers of all ages and levels of ability.

When Ben Crenshaw sank his putt at the seventy-second hole for a one-shot victory in the 1995 Masters, he bent over, buried his face in his fingers for a moment, then wept in the arms of his caddie. This was Bens way of telling the world that what he had just done was his own memorial to his great friend and mentor Harvey Penick, who had passed away almost exactly a week before. With Crenshaws victory, every golfer, every lover of the game, joined Ben in giving thanks to the greatest golf teacher of all time.Harvey Penicks life in golf began when he started caddying at the Austin Country Club in Texas at the youthful age of eight. Over the next eighty-plus years, he enlightened the members of that club with insights into golf and life. In 1992, at the age of eighty-seven, he offered the world that same wisdom in a timeless collection of pieces entitled Harvey Penicks Little Red Book. He followed that with three more books, all bestsellers, and all filled with thoughts, stories, and golf advice that had stood the test of time. Now, Bud Shrake, Harveys friend and collaborator, gathers together the very best pointers, portraits, and parables from all four of Harveys previous works. Filled with nuggets of wisdom from Harvey Penicks Little Red Book, And If You Play Golf, Youre My Friend, For All Who Love the Game, and The Game for a Lifetime and enhanced with dozens of personal photographs and keepsakes from the Penick family scrapbooks, The Wisdom of Harvey Penick is a lasting treasure from the most beloved teacher in all of golf.

TIMELESS LESSONS FROM THE MASTER OF THE GAMEThis, the fourth book by Harvey Penick, was nearly finished when he died in April 1995. A return to the timeless wisdom that has made his first bestseller, Harvey Penicks Little Red Book, a modern classic, The Game for a Lifetime does not contain the technical swing tips and stance aids of todays instructional guides, but dispenses a philosophy on golf, and on life.Harvey Penick knew that the teachings in his book would stand the test of time, and he spent his lifetime pursuing and enjoying all that the game has to offer -- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Game for a Lifetime, the final book by Harvey Penick, stands as a wonderful testimonial to this legendary career, his celebrated teaching style, and his ability to affect the lives of the people who had the good fortune to know him.
