Unplayable Lies by Mr Dan Jenkins

Unplayable Lies by Mr Dan Jenkins

Thirty-eight essays on golf- the game that no one has ever covered the way Dan Jenkins covers it. Half of the essays are brand new, the others are all reworked and rewritten, based on pieces that were originally published in Golf Digest. Often biting, usually cranky, always hilarious and surprising, this is Dan Jenkins at his best, writing about the sport he loves the most. Dan Jenkins is one of America's most acclaimed sportswriters as well as a bestselling novelist. In 2012 he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame- one of only three writers to be honored thus far- and was given the PEN Lifetime Achievement Award for Literary Sports Writing. He is also the 2013 winner of the Red Smith Award, the highest honor in his profession.

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.
