Aren't You That Golf Guy?: Doglegs and Detours from a Life in the Game

Rich Lerner's lively collection of golf stories is a love letter to a game that is as elusive as it is emotionally transformative.

From his early days working at his father’s driving range with his three brothers to his three decades covering golf’s biggest stars and most historic championships, Rich Lerner has lived a lucky life in golf. He went from rubbing shoulders with hard-drinking, Allentown golf pros in the ’70s to playing his first money match (against “The Pigeon”) to crossing paths with Arnie to a circuitous route to the Golf Channel just as Tiger Woods arrived on the scene.

In Aren't You That Golf Guy?, Golf Channel’s master storyteller shares decades of his best stories. It's funny, provocative, poignant and personal, with deep dives on Tiger, Rory, Phil, Jack, and Arnie, plus hilarious celebrity encounters with the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Will Ferrell, not to mention bawdy tales from the driving range.

Raw, emotional, real, and relatable; you will see yourself or find someone you know in the pages of this book.

Rich Lerner has earned a reputation as one of sports television’s premier storytellers.
