When he set out to play each of Golf Digest’s 100 greatest American golf courses in one year, Jimmie James knew he was attempting the impossible. But then again, he’d spent his entire life defying the odds. Playing from the Rough is a remarkable memoir of race, class, family, and the power of perseverance, as James braids his love of golf with reflections on the path that took him from childhood poverty to the most exclusive and opulent golf courses in America.

Incredible Storytelling!
Revisado: 07-19-24
In Playing from the Rough, Jimmie James delivers an enthralling narrative that masterfully blends his personal biography with an ambitious quest to play the top 100 golf courses in America. From the very first page, the storytelling captivates, drawing readers into a journey that is as much about the author’s life as it is about the sport of golf.
James’s writing shines with authenticity and passion. His vivid descriptions of each golf course, coupled with the rich, personal anecdotes from his life, create a tapestry that is both intimate and expansive. His deep love for golf is evident, but it is his ability to connect the game to broader themes of perseverance, adventure, and self-discovery that truly sets this book apart.
One of the most compelling aspects of Playing from the Rough is how Jimmie handles the interplay between success and struggle. His candid recounting of setbacks, both on and off the golf course, adds a layer of depth and relatability.
In addition to being a great read for golf enthusiasts, this book offers valuable life lessons. James’s determination to achieve his goal despite numerous obstacles serves as an inspiring reminder of the power of passion and persistence. His reflections on the connections he forms along the way—whether with fellow golfers, course staff, or simply the landscapes he traverses—highlight the profound impact of human relationships and the beauty of shared experiences.
Overall, Playing from the Rough is a remarkable book that excels in both storytelling and substance. Jimmie James has created a work that is as much about the spirit of golf as it is about the journey of life. This book is a must-read, not only for golf lovers but for anyone who appreciates a well-told story of ambition, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams.

There’s a story about Rich Paul that everyone knows: A twenty-one-year-old kid from Cleveland who sells sports jerseys out of his car meets a high school basketball phenom named LeBron James at an airport—the two become friends and forge a decades-long partnership that reinvents the business of sports. That random meeting might seem like the lucky break that changed Paul’s life. But a moment of good fortune means nothing without the struggle that gets you there. And the truth is, Paul had always been lucky.

Powerful insights
Revisado: 05-31-23
While there were more than a few highly technical segments, found the book to be easy to follow with tangible insights to apply to my own life. I have recommended the book to many.
