FORGOTTEN BOOKS: SHORT STORY COLLECTION EDITION!ON THE FRINGE ~ AND OTHER UNCOMMON TALES OF GOLF!
GREGORY G. BARTON
I uncovered this classic collection of short stories by pure chance, but enjoyed every page. Barton is wildly inventive and his love and respect for golf comes through in every tale. The stories are smoothly written with engaging characters and situations. I'd very much like to see what kind of work Barton would produce working at novel length. Great stuff.
ON THE FRINGE: AND OTHER UNCOMMON TALES OF GOLF
Take an extraordinary tour: From the Ryder Cup to the Bermuda Triangle and worlds beyond... fly with an RAF pilot as he buzzes a golf course that no one else can see, come across a magical golf club that can change lives, have your bag carried by a clairboyant caddie, play a round for the hand of a beautiful girl, find out what heaven's really like, ride the devil's own train, and get caught on a haunted links after dark.
This collection of fourteen unexpected tales about golf, life, and the uncommon nature of both, is for all readers.
This is an eclectic and adventurous anthology of off-the-wall tales of life, golf, and mystical mysteries, all filled with original and inventive storytelling.

having never played golf, I am intrigued at its story potential.
Art Scott would love this book!
I'm always happy to see you find another example of sports fiction I hadn't come across before.
(Yours for the necessary William Campbell Gault sporst fiction collection...)
