Characters on the Green: Everyday Golfers are the Real Character of the Game by J Peter Hoyer

J Peter Hoyer . Unknown Year . English

Witty, sarcastic, and humorously captivating. Real episodes with real golfers, and real funny. We called him "Mr. D," not his correct name, but one that he liked. Mr. D was rich enough to own all the pineapple fields on Oahu, but he'd rather sneak out and steal a few pineapples instead. "Hank" turns out to be a virulent "Hank-Enstein" in the chapter of the same name. You will discover that the three "Patrick's" have something more in common than their given names. "Doc," not an actual doctor, and Nick, who may have been the inspiration behind the cable TV series, The Sopranos, are more of the personalities who are the focus of these chapters. There are numerous books devoted to professional athletes. For the game of golf in particular, readers can find publications about Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, and many other pros. But what about the millions of amateurs who play the game? They are seriously overlooked-until now. "Great Chapters. Enjoyable and relatable for anyone who has spent any time around the game. Pete makes the many characters of the game we can all identify with come alive." -Andy Weissinger, PGA, 2009 PGA Patriot Award Winner. "Pete's lifelong love for the game has given experiences that any golf lover would enjoy. Read this and you will see why golf is more than a game. It has Character." -Nick Zanca, Director of Golf, Kiskiack Golf Club.

About the Author

First and foremost, Pete loves to play golf, he'd rather golf than eat (well, most of the time anyway). In 40 + years of playing, many zany characters have played alongside in foursomes. Those unique golfers and their personal stories have become the genesis for this book. J. Peter (Pete) Hoyer keenly observes the personalities of people he meets. His book is a humorous look at the people he encountered during his decades-long love affair with the game of golf. These quirky personalities and their situations are now central to the witty, sarcastic and social dystopian musings of his first book. Pete graduated from North Rockland H.S. in Haverstraw, NY. He holds a B.A. degree from The Citadel and master's degrees from Webster Univ and Troy State Univ. He travelled extensively throughout the U.S., Europe and others working with the Department of Defense for 40 years. An avid golfer, he resides in Calabash, NC, the seafood capital of the U.S. and the golf capital on the east coast. See you on the course!
