Golf short stories.A high-tech tycoon who plays golf with a half-century-old set of clubs—a trial lawyer who claims that golf is a public nuisance—a radio shock jock who seeks social acceptance for himself and his “morning menagerie” by joining the country club set—these and many other characters are the literary denizens of the Riverdale Golf and Country Club, the fictional setting for this collection of humorous short stories by Charles F. Rechlin. Organized around standard golf-related topics—such as “The Players,” “The Equipment” and “The Rules”—this collection tackles themes traditional to fine sports literature, using the characters and setting of the stories to raise such universal human issues as friendship, charity, aging and coping with change.
The Riverdale Chronicles edition by Charles Rechlin Literature Fiction eBooks
The characters in this collection are a wide variety, men and women. The only constant character is Ernie Evans, the long-time golf pro, and sage, of the Riverdale Golf and Country Club. Having spent a deal of time on a golf course while growing up, I can vouch that these characters really do exist.The hardest part about reviewing this book is trying to choose a favorite story. This is nigh impossible to do. Instead, I will share with you one of my favorites:
_A Gentleman's Game_. The rules of golf are quite concise and painstakingly drawn out. My grandmother, also a golfer, was a stickler for the rules. She taught my father these rules and made others play by them. So when I read this story about a secretary forced to keep score for her boss of 22 years during a tournament, I had to chuckle. Throughout the round of golf, the secretary and her boss are at odds. Her boss keeps bullying her into complying with the "score" he recites to her, even as he breaks the rules. He wants to win so much that he'll cheat to do it. Eventually, she does give up trying to make him adhere to the rules, and he's happy that he's "won". But how does it end? Buy the book! (smile)
Do you have to know golf to enjoy these stories? No. These stories are truly more about humans and our desires than golf. Yes, they are set on a golf course with golf as their backdrop, but anyone can read them and relate to the situations, through either experience or observation or both, and laugh.
If you are looking for a book that will keep you chuckling, The Riverdale Chronicles is a must to have in your library.
