Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack by Dan Jenkins

Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack by Dan Jenkins

The best golf writer on the planet returns with his funniest book ever.
Dan Jenkins virtually invented the golf novel with Dead Solid Perfect, his rollicking account of the life and times of touring pro Kenny Lee Puckett. After thirty years of waiting for the follow-up, Jenkins returns to the world of big-time golf in The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist and finds a world where endorsements and course fashion matter more than the side bet. His hero, Bobby Joe Grooves, is a hell-raising two-iron-wielding rogue trying to turn his one annual tournament win and considerable Texas charm into a spot on the Ryder Cup team. Standing between Bobby Joe and his little spot of golf heaven are two ex-wives, a girlfriend, various pious PGA officials, and his embarrassing lack of a career major. A book that will teach you more about golf history than any weepy sunset-over-the-eighteenth-green retrospective, The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist is an uproarious portrait of what it's really like to play on the PGA Tour. It's vintage Dan Jenkins.

Much of this detail comes naturally to Dan Jenkins, who is a Fort Worth native and a product of Paschal High and TCU. In his early career, he wrote for the now defunct papers, The Fort Worth Press and The Dallas Times-Herald, then moved on to Sports Illustrated and Golf Digest. He is the author of 16 books, including Baja Oklahoma, Semi-Tough, Life Its Ownself, and You Gotta Play Hurt. Fast Copy, first published in 1988, was his sixth novel, tenth book. His newest novel is Rude Behavior.

After living in New York City and Florida, Jenkins and his wife, June, have moved back to Fort Worth to be closer to barbecue, Tex-Mex, and the TCU stadium.

Sally Jenkins, daughter of Dan and June, is the coauthor, with Lance Armstrong, of the best-selling It's Not About the Bike.

Jeff Guinn is the book review editor of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
