The idea of creating a book that would capture a golf Dad’s interest, allowing him to bond with his children, and help get the next generation interested in the game of golf and growing children through the golf was inspiring. So with the help of some close friends, Dottie Pepper, and others who believe in the vision, Bogey Ballton and the world of Scooter Pines was born!
