A few days ago, I received an e-mail from golf author Bob Thomas’s wife, Mary Anne. She informed me that Bob had had a major stroke about 11 weeks ago. Bob is on his way to what is hoped to be a full recovery, she said, and she promised that he would be writing golf books again someday.

Nevertheless, as we all know, strokes are much worse in real life than they are in golf, and Bob could use some help from his golfing fans and friends.

In Mary Anne’s own words:

“My aim is to raise enough cash to protect what Bob has built so that he can return to it. My dream is that his Author Editions will go ‘viral’ on the internet so golfers as a whole can get to know Bob’s books. Bob’s books are the most motivational books in golf – shoot, maybe even in sports writing itself. With your help, I think I can turn Bob’s stroke into something inspirational for him and for golf. Bob has given his heart to the game of golf. I would do anything to protect what he has done and can do in the future. Can you help?”

The signed Author Editions of Bob’s books are exquisitely designed, and would make wonderful gifts for the upcoming holiday season. If you’re looking for a truly unique and inspirational gift, or maybe if you simply want to help out one of the truly unique and inspirational golf writers of our day, please visit Bob Thomas Books and order one of these lovely volumes.

Every golfer deserves a friendly mulligan every once in a while.
