Steve Rogers' first book tells an amazing tale through the eyes of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's sufferer.The tale features octogenarian Tom Ryan, who lives in a nursing home he hates. Widowed and in diapers, he absolutely detests his life.Tom's salvation comes by way of his daily visit to the nursing home's recreation room and its 10-foot by 12-foot AstroTurf putting green. When he steps onto that magic carpet he remembers his life, but only his life on the golf course, from when he first picked up a club to his last experiences as a course ranger. It's an irreverent journey through people, places, and events all related to his life in golf.According to Tom:"I may not remember what I ate for breakfast, but when I'm on this little patch of plastic grass, I remember - people, places, shots, holes, funny stuff, sad stuff, all like it was yesterday … Like my good friend Eddie always says, 'It's the most fun you can have with your pants on.' The stuff I remember, or think I remember, could fill up a book."I enjoyed each and every page of the book. It made me laugh out loud. The writing is reminiscent of Jack Kerouac." - Ginny Walsh, retired public school teacher, Worcester, Mass."This is the ultimate 'golf guy' book. It is sarcastic, pessimistic, bawdy, self-deprecating and dark. There are lots of adjectives that fit into the description. How about earthy, gritty, rough with all the divots replaced." - Bob Black, visiting professor at Massachusetts MaritimePublisher's website: http://sbprabooks.com/SteveRogers
