Book Description

March 16, 2004

Golf for Women magazine calls Alice Dye "the woman who changed the way we play the game." Hall of Fame golfer Nancy Lopez says, "Alice is one of the greatest amateur golfers ever." Husband and revered golf course architect Pete Dye adds, "She has a great understanding of the game of golf and a keen eye for course design."

Twice United States Senior Women's Amateur Champion and member of the victorious 1970 United States Curtis Cup team, Alice has influenced the game of golf for more than fifty years through her work as a member of the USGA committees, the first woman board member of the PGA of America, and the first woman president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects.

In From Birdies to Bunkers, Alice Dye shares her personal, passionate, and funny experiences of a life on and off the course -- playing with the great Babe Didrikson Zaharias, dining with Tiger Woods, her pioneering efforts on behalf of women golfers, and working with Pete to design many of the world's greatest golf courses. In addition, the magical names of Nancy Lopez, Arnold Palmer, Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, Byron Nelson, President George H. Bush, and others are woven throughout, providing a book that will improve your knowledge of golf and perhaps your own game.


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Women's golf pioneer Dye presents the history of her life in golf-and the people she has met through the game-as a series of short sketches offering pithy life lessons. Golf, according to Dye, can teach players about everything from competing fiercely and being honest to keeping up a positive attitude and exhibiting good sportsmanship. Filled with anecdotes about her husband (noted golf course architect Pete Dye), her family, her successes and failures on and off the course and famous golfers ranging from "Babe" Didrikson and Sam Snead to Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, this volume offers charming and inspiring reading even for non-golfers. A tale of golfer JoAnne Gunderson Carner, for example, recalls a time she backed into a sharply speared yucca plant on the course and cut her legs badly. In physical agony, she "steadied herself and hit a fabulous shot to the green." It's a reminder to anyone that we can rise to the occasion even in dire circumstances. And for devotees of the game, who already believe that golf is life, this little book will really hit home.

This review is from: From Birdies to Bunkers: Discover How Golf Can Bring Love, Humor, and Success into Your Life (Hardcover)
Bought this at TPC Sawgrass clubhouse after playing and missing the island green and heading to Kiawah and the Ocean course (wife birdies it by the way), my wife now yells at me on the course "ALICE" which means don't go from trouble to more trouble" Read it and something from this book will improve your life and game and remember Alice when your duffed tee shot fails to make the women's tees-she is the one responsible for the forward tee boxes and all of those island greens. Now bring on Teeth of the Dog.
