Dating in present times can make you turn green, and the term “dating pool” is just a metaphor, isn’t it? Not when your future spouse is an actual frog who lives in a pond...

Author Talk: Rick Reilly—‘So Help Me Golf’

6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 1, Boulder Bookstore, 1107 Pearl St., Boulder. Tickets: $5, boulderbookstore.net

his insatiable curiosity, trademark sense of humor, and vast knowledge of the game in a treasure trove of original pieces about what the game has meant to him and to others. We meet the PGA Tour player who robbed banks by night to pay his motel bills, the golf club maker who takes weekly psychedelic trips, and the caddy who kept his loop even after an 11-year prison stint. We learn how a man on his third heart nearly won the U.S. Open, how a Vietnam POW saved his life playing 18 holes a day in his tiny cell, and about the course that’s absolutely free. Connecting it all is the story of Reilly’s own personal journey through the game, especially as it connects to his tumultuous relationship with his father, and how the two eventually reconciled through golf.
