Fantasy Golf: A Search for Sanity
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The "weekly reports" in the book include descriptions of Martha Burk and her army of "battling bitches" storming the hallowed ground of Augusta National; Rush Limbaugh and Jesse Jackson trapped in an elevator during a rolling blackout; and Martha Stewart and Kenneth Lay preparing for incarceration. Though humerous, the messages have a serious purpose: they set the stage for a description of many Americans' dismay at growing old in a society they cannot comprehend, and of spending their retirement years with declining pensions at a time when people whom the author calls scoundrels, charlatans, and whackos are accumulating incredible wealth through devious means.
About the Author
David G. Lavender has the second-highest handicap among the members of the Northfield, MN Golf Club. This dismal circumstance reflects his lifelong lack of ability on the links. After working in development (fund raising) for several colleges and universities, he founded a successful consulting firm that specialized in institutional advancement and board management for many types of charitable organizations. He retired in 1998 to pursue a career on the Champions Tour. When that venture failed, he began running a nationwide fantasy golf league. His weekly reports to the participants form the messages contained in this book.
