Quotes by James Dodson  (?)

“PERFECTION, OF COURSE, is a cruel god. It requires the kind of absolute devotion and daily sacrifice that is the sworn enemy of personal emotion and intimacy with others, even—and maybe especially—one’s loyal ladywife.”
James Dodson, Ben Hogan: An American Life

“Golf camaraderie,” wrote my friend John Updike in his lovely meditation on the subject in Golf Dreams, “like that of astronauts and Antarctic explorers, is based on a common experience of transcendence; fat or thin, scratch or duffer, we have been somewhere together where nongolfers never go.”
James Dodson, The Range Bucket List: The Golf Adventure of a Lifetime
