Golf is supposed to be a quiet game. A stroll across manicured lawns, a polite clap here and there, and maybe--if the golf gods are smiling--a birdie or two. But People I Met Playing Golf is not that game. This is the version with larger-than-life characters, bizarre detours, unforgettable encounters, and more stories than any clubhouse bar could possibly hold. Across 120 pages of humor and color, Thomas Johnson takes you along on a journey not just across golf courses, but through the oddities and personalities that make the game endlessly entertaining.

Golf is supposed to be a quiet game. A stroll across manicured lawns, a polite clap here and there, and maybe--if the golf gods are smiling--a birdie or two. But People I Met Playing Golf is not that game. This is the version with larger-than-life characters, bizarre detours, unforgettable encounters, and more stories than any clubhouse bar could possibly hold. Across 120 pages of humor and color, Thomas Johnson takes you along on a journey not just across golf courses, but through the oddities and personalities that make the game endlessly entertaining. Each chapter is like reaching a new hole on the course: different terrain, unexpected hazards, and just enough drama to keep you swinging. Front Nine: The Introductions >Back Nine: The Escalations >Beyond the Ropes: The Observers >People I Met Playing Golf is not a swing manual, not a travel guide, and definitely not a sermon on etiquette. It's a collection of stories--funny, strange, and sometimes a little unbelievable--about what happens when you chase a little white ball around the world and meet the people doing the same. If you've ever walked off a course thinking, "I'll remember that foursome forever," this book is for you.
Thomas Johnson is a golf enthusiast, a passion that has provided him with not only a hobby but also a unique lens through which to view the world. While he previously oversaw the development of a book on relationships, People I Have Met on a Golf Course marks his debut as a solo author, a project he has seen through from conception to publication. The stories within its pages are a direct reflection of his own journey, and he hopes they will inspire readers to find meaning in their own everyday interactions. Thomas lives in Las Vegas but his soul remains in Cleveland Ohio as a devoted fan of the Browns, Indians (yes, Indians) and the Ohio State Buckeyes. From the Author: Writing this book has been a journey that would not have been possible without the support, guidance, and encouragement of many remarkable people. Well, maybe not many but a few select conspirators. My profound gratitude extends to my kids and "significant other" who are supportive of all my endeavors including this one. Most importantly to my friend and CCO of this project Glenn Connery who served as my agent and kept me moving forward and for your constant belief in my work. Any errors or shortcomings in this book remain entirely my own responsibility. With deep appreciation, Thomas Johnson
