What it's about
Golf at the unmanicured edges of the world.
From the Old Course at St. Andrews and the west coast of Ireland to Bandon Dunes, the red rock of Moab, and the foothills of Nepal, veteran golf journalist Jeff Wallach travels to the unmanicured edges of the game and reports back with wit and warmth.
Wallach has filed nearly a thousand pieces for The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, GOLF Magazine, and Men's Journal — and the same eye for the unusual that has served him in those pages is what gives this book its voice. He is interested less in scorecards than in what golf reveals about places, people, and the moments when a round goes sideways in the most instructive ways.
Originally published in hardcover by Burford Books in 2002, Driven to Extremes is a small-press classic of the literary golf shelf — and a window into Jeff's first decade of globe-trotting reporting before Mr. Wizard.
"This diverse collection of entertaining glimpses into the wide world of golf reads like a scorecard that breaks seventy. I enjoyed it immensely."Jim Dodson, author of Final Rounds
