There has never been a book about the inner workings of the golf business, or its leading players from an insider’s point of view. In the Rough reads like a novel, but it could be required reading in a business school. It takes the reader on a ride through the author’s unusual professional career and what he discovered in the most revealing settings and scenes of the golf industry.
