Description: First printing: no additional printings noted. Inscribed "Thanks" and signed by the author on the FFEP. Tight, clean, flat, square, sharp and crisp book in pristine DJ. As a 17-year old reporter he met Bob Jones, Cliff Roberts, O.B. Keeler and Grantland Rice at that first Masters. Derr would go on to cover a record sixty-two Masters and the club granted him its Major Achievement Award for doing so. What impressed me about Derr was that the man could tell a story and was still sharp as a tack. His book is a series of sixty-eight stories, most of them centered on his interactions with an individual of note. Derr enjoyed a very privileged position, as I have never heard of anyone else Cliff Roberts would invite to his cabin to have tea and crumpets during the Masters, but Derr was.John is the ultimate raconteur and he has a nose for a story and how to tell it. Among the non-golfing people he met and profiles in the book are Thomas Edison, Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Yogi Berra, Gandhi (yes, that Gandhi) and Joe DiMaggio.Derr is a walking history of the game
