From the Foreword by John Steinbrenner

“I think of these grand adventures, I am reminded that all I have been able to experience in the game has flowed out of New England, be- ginning with those first rounds at Fairfield and continuing with those trips I took—and still take—to the region’s best courses and clubs. It has given me so much.”
