Thesis advisor: Susan Roberts / "The Gentlemen's Game: Essays on Golf" is a collection of seven nonfiction pieces about a historically wealthy pastime. Drawing from his personal experience as a player, caddie, and fan, the author seeks to portray golf’s most compelling stories as well as its many problems. Subjects include stars such as Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth, as well as lesser-known pros like Mark Baldwin, who travels the country in pursuit of the PGA Tour. The thesis also explores golf’s issues with environmentalism and inclusivity, which have followed the sport for decades. This collection of essays is a testament to the value of the game, despite its reputation for tedium and elitism. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2022. / Submitted to: Boston College.
