Summary: A little too pretentious
Comment: The fundamental flaw of this book is that the author tries to pass himself off as everyman. We are supposed to be able to identify with his golf buddies and feel a kinship with the friendship he feels with his fellow Dewsweepers (the guys he golfs with). The problem is that most of us don't get to golf all over the world and at the most prestigious golf courses in our own country. He continually name drops throughout the book. He golfs with his buddy Arnold Palmer and seems to know many of the influential names in the world of golf. If his intention was to show us an example of golf friendships that we could identify with, he fell short.
I golf with my golf buddies every Sunday at a course where we pay ($$$) to play eighteen holes. We only dream of being able to hop on a plane and fly to Europe or Pebble Beach at the drop of a hat (like the author does with his fellow Dewsweepers). For most of us, a round at Pebble Beach is a lifelong dream that will probably go unfulfilled. For the author of this book, it is just an average day and a prelude to better rounds to come.
If you are a wealthy country club member and enjoy reading about the lifestyle that you are currently enjoying, this is the book for you. If you aren't, skip this book, call three of your buddies, and head out to the nearest public course. It will be a better way to spend your afternoon.

Summary: The Dewsweepers: Seasons of Golf and Friendship
Comment: Not exactly as advertised. The book was written as a diary of 1 particular year in the author's life. Yes, he found friendship. Yes, he is a namedropper. Yes, it will keep you interested enough to see if there is an epiphany. (Will let you read to discover.)

Summary: The Dewsweepers
Comment: James Dodson has an innate ability to perfectly describe how a golfer really feels about courses, clubs, and the friendships that develop over years of playing the game. Inside the pages of this book are some of the most hilarious and wonderful accounts of men being boys and vice versa that the reader will ever stumble across. There is a mix of golf history, travel, family psychology and the tormenting trials of trying desperately to master a game that is impossible to master. If you play golf, at any level of capability, you will enjoy this book!
