But he also chronicles the legendary figures known only to insiders, who nevertheless have left an indelible mark on the sport. There's a club pro, a teaching pro, an old black Southern caddie. There's a tournament director in his seventies, a TV director in his eighties, and a USGA executive in his nineties. All these figures, from the marquee names to the unknowns, have changed the game. What they all share is a game that courses through their collective veins like a drug. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWas golf better back in the day? \u003ci\u003eMen in Green \u003c\/i\u003eweaves a history of the modern game that is personal, touching, inviting, and new. This meditation on aging and a celebration of the game is a nostalgic visit and reminiscence with those who fashioned golf history.and should be cherished (\u003ci\u003eGolf Digest\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49542274646289,"sku":"GOR007406103","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50093251756305,"sku":"CIN1476743827A","price":4.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423068258577,"sku":"CIN1476743827VG","price":4.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51856522510609,"sku":"GOR009546864","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52106411999505,"sku":"CIN1476743827G","price":3.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1476743827.jpg?v=1751371868","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/men-in-green-book-michael-bamberger-9781476743820","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
