Praise for A Son of the Game:
"Dodson's cleanly-carpentered prose still has all the familiar beveled edges."—Golfchannel.com

"Jim Dodson has in his many books shown a rare ability to take the reader into landscapes both physical and mental, and burrow deeply into each. He again accomplishes this in A Son of the Game, and demonstrates that he is a virtuoso in conveying why Pinehurst is a special place in the golfing firmament, and, moreover, why it provides the ideal setting for him to resolve matters within himself, and with his own son. This memoir will make you feel as if you are in Pinehurst with the author, and it will reveal timeless truths about the game, and human nature, as they seep through and out of the soil of one of golf's timeless places."
—Lorne Rubenstein, author of A Season in Dornoch: Golf and Life in the Scottish Highlands

"Jim Dodson's new memoir reveals the depth of his love for golf, fatherhood, and his ancestral home--the Sandhills of North Carolina. A Son of the Game also showcases Jim's amazing skill with a pen, and his wisdom about the human condition. This a wonderful book."
—Curt Sampson, author of The Slam: Bobby Jones and the Price of Glory


Praise for Final Rounds:
"Final Rounds takes readers on a wonderful journey to some of the most famous golf courses in the world.... But like each round of golf, Final Rounds is about much more than the game itself. It is a journey of discovery for a father and son and for their relationship." —USA Today

"I have never read a more eloquent book about golf as a game where hearts can meet." —Michael Murphy, author of Golf in the Kingdom

"One of the finest golf writers of his time, [Dodson] brings a rare sensibility to the craft -- equal parts expertise and humanity."
—Austin American-Statesman

"You don't need to be a golfer to enjoy this wonderful book."
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"James Dodson is a gifted writer who clearly understands and loves golf, but more importantly, he understands people and relationships. In the truest sense, Final Rounds is a moving love story."
—John Feinstein, author of A Good Walk Spoiled.


Praise for Ben Hogan: An American Life:
"Dodson's prose is as smooth as Hogan's swing, and his attention to detail will impress even the most persnickety of golf fans." —Washington Post

"One of the biggest names in sports journalism peels back the layers and family secrets of the greatest shot-makers of all times and scores an ace." —Seattle Times
