We'll explore the lives of three remarkable figures, Ky Laffoon and Titanic Thompson, who overcame significant odds to leave their mark on the game. Additionally, we'll delve into the fiery temperament of Tommy Bolt and the lessons in anger management his career offers.The lives of Laffoon, Thompson, and Bolt offer rich narratives of talent intertwined with personal challenges. Their stories highlight the importance of emotional control, the impact of mentorship, and the colourful history of golf's early days. While the financial rewards of their era paled in comparison to today's game, the larger-than-life characters and their exploits have left an indelible mark on the sport.As we reflect on these figures, we're reminded that the essence of golf transcends monetary gain. It's a game of skill, strategy, and, above all, character. The passion and personalities of players like Laffoon, Thompson, and Bolt continue to inspire and entertain, offering valuable lessons for both golfers and enthusiasts alike.Thank you for joining us on this nostalgic journey through golf's rich history.

A tapestry of uplifting stories in which fathers and sons share the game...Almost two hundred father-son pairs have played in the big leagues. Kevin Cook takes us inside the clubhouses, homes, and lives of many of the greats.In visiting these legendary families, Cook discovers that ball-playing families are a lot like our own. Dan Haren regrets the long road trips that keep him from his kids. Ike Davis and his father, a former Yankee, debate whether Ike should pitch or play first base. Buddy Bell leads a generation of big-leaguers determined to open their workplace -- the clubhouse -- to their kids.Framing The Dad Report is the story of Kevin Cook's own father, Art Cook, a minor-league pitcher, a loveable rogue with a wicked screwball. In Art's later years, Kevin phoned him almost every night to talk baseball. They called those nightly conversations “the Dad Report.” In time, Kevin came to see that these conversations were about much more than the game. That's what this book is about: the way fathers and sons talk baseball as a way of talking about everything -- courage, fear, fun, family, morality, and mortality.An award-winning sportswriter and former senior editor at Sports Illustrated, Kevin Cook is the author of Titanic Thompson, Tommy's Honor, and Kitty Genovese.Listen in to Kevin Cook's special Father’s Day week conversation in the Clubhouse...
