Local author Tom Warren of Beloit, Wisconsin celebrates the Rockford Community as one of America's most supportive golf towns for generations. The focus of the stories and recollections runs from the late 1940s through the early sixties and picks up again in 1989 when Warren met Earl Woods and his thirteen year old son, Tiger.
"Last night I finished [An Old Cadie] and was so inspired.
I would have hit the range at Aldeen had it not been 11 p.m.!"
Greg Galen, Rockford
"Tom Warren has done a masterful job of weaving the story of
Rockford Golf. It is informative, educational, yet entertaining as he combines
fact with personal experience. It is a must read for any golf enthusiast."
Roger Lindeman, Former National High School Coach of the Year
"Much of my story concentrates on Rockford's values as they relate to golf. The perspective I gained as a young caddie in the 1950s turns out to be powerful in retrospect," stated the author. Proceeds of the book will benefit the Junior Golf Association.
