Tickets for
Dodson’s appearance, which is sponsored by the Friends of the Randolph County
Public Library, are $35 per person and can be purchased at the Asheboro Public
Library, 201 Worth Street. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served and there will
be a cash bar.
In his
40-year career as a journalist, Dodson has gained international renown for his
books on golfing. The Range Bucket List, published in 2017, is a funny,
intimate, nostalgic journey of self and sport in which this legendary author
completes his golf “bucket list.”
Dodson’s
previous books include Final Rounds; Ben Hogan: An American Life;
American Triumverate: Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and the Age of
Modern Golf, which won the U.S. Golf Association’s Herbert Warren Wind
Award in 2012; A Golfer’s Life with Arnold Palmer; and A Son
of the Game, which was named Top Golf Book of the Year by the International
Network of Golf.
In 2011,
Dodson won the prestigious Donald Ross Award, given annually by the American
Society of Golf Course Architects — only one of two golf writers to receive the
award. He is also a recipient of North Carolina’s highest honor, the Order of
the Long Leaf Pine.
Dodson and
his wife Wendy live in Greensboro.
