Author John Updike A Golfer?

Author John Updike said on Book TV In Depth on C-SPAN that he plays golf twice a week and he's in his 70s. I knew that. He wrote Golf Dreams.

If I live as long, I hope to be hitting the links too...at least once a week. I wrote in book in New Orleans called Duffers Golf Rules. At one time it was available for sale online. Perhaps it is time to bring it back.

Description of Updike by C-SPAN: Author, novelist and literary critic John Updike will be a guest for In Depth on December 4th. Mr. Updike's books, nearly 60 in total, have earned him numerous awards, including the National Book Award, the American Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. He received the Pulitzer Prize for his novels "Rabbit is Rich" (1981) and "Rabbit at Rest" (1990). Mr. Updike's latest book is "Still Looking: Essays on American Art."
