 The same can be said for Merrins’ latest book, “Playing a Round with the Little Pro.” The title is a play on words, and the book isn’t an instructional primer, such as his “Swing The Club” videos. Nor is it a straight biography, a selection of life lessons learned on the course or a list of colorful encounters Merrins has experienced. It’s a little bit of all those things, unfolding like you’re playing a leisurely round of golf with Merrins, whose career spans the golden days of Hogan, Nelson and Snead to the current generation of Woods, Singh and Mickelson. You’ll learn a great deal about Merrins, from his amateur career and early days as a professional at Merion Country Club to his time at Bel-Air and long association with UCLA’s golf program. Interesting tales are told about Dean Martin, who rarely won a wager during a round, and former Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley, who rarely lost on a course he designed in Vero Beach, Fla. The writing style is casual and concise, and there are no long chapters or anecdotes, with many being less than two pages. “Playing a Round with the Little Pro” is available at most major bookstores and at Amazon.com. |
