As a twenty-plus-year golf professional, Chris Rowe acts as both bartender and preacher, listening to successful members relay exactly how they made their fortune--and sometimes, how they lost it. Those stories are the focus of Rowe's second book, Bartenders, Preachers, and Golf Pros.

Through adventures both on and off the tee, Rowe offers an insider's view of life on the green, talking readers through many of the common issues he sees as a three-time Harvey Penick Teacher of the Year, including how to achieve better balance, correct your swing, calm your breathing, simplify bunker shots, and make the most of your practice sessions--all blended seamlessly with Rowe's personal experiences with legends Lee Trevino, Annika Sörenstam, Byron Nelson, Rickie Fowler.

For Rowe, the lesson tee isn't just a place to teach golf; it's actually an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. In Bartenders, Preachers, and Golf Pros, he coaches readers to enjoy their game, dream big, and work harder!
