L'autore

Born and raised in France, Hubert Pedroli discovered the game of golf more than twenty-five years ago on the seaside links of Normandy. He brought his passion for the game with him to America, playing golf along the California coast. Now residing outside New York City, he continues his love of the game through travel, reading, historical research and compiling a collection of golf books and memorabilia. In addition to numerous English and Scottish clubs, Pedroli is the proud owner of two Calamity Jane putters.

Mary Tiegreen grew up in Chicago in a family that was passionate about the game of golf. Her design career began at the age of 11 when she created the posters and invitations for Babe Zaharias Memorial Golf Tournament for the Cook County Women's Golf Association. Even at this young age, she questioned the wisdom of pastel polyester pants (for men), but came to accept that golf is a universe unto itself. Although she has strayed from the links from time to time, she returned to her first love when she met and married Hubert Pedroli, an obsessed golfer with questionable pants. Together they play golf, talk, golf, collect golf, dream golf, and write about golf. They reside outside New York with a big dog named Daisy.
