Rich Poggi: Reviewing His "Fairways and Greens: A Novel," and Recapping The Open at Royal Birkdale

As we look back at Ryan Fox's victory at The Open here on "Musings on Golf," we encourage you to look ahead and purchase a terrific book, "Fairways and Greens: A Novel," by Rich Poggi.

"Foxy" wasted no time in sealing his first major title, while the storylines abounded last week, with the drama produced by Bryson DeChambeau and the ensuing reaction from Rory McIlroy. Scottie Scheffler getting a free drop for a ball he never found! And so close again for Sam Burns and Cameron Young. 

And what about Doug Parker, who was once destined for PGA Tour stardom? Poggi nails it with the father-son dynamic Doug Parker's in this character-driven story of family, rediscovery, and second chances, all set against a game that has a way of revealing the truth about people when it matters most.
