A love letter to a father and the sport he lovedIn eighteen enlightening tales, Bing Crosby’s son Nathaniel pays tribute to his father, their relationship, and the unique sport that bonded them. Nathaniel sheds new light on our perception of Bing the singer, describing how he was, to his youngest child and many others alike, Bing the golfer. Full of entertaining anecdotes of Bing Crosby’s time on the course, the tournaments he created and later sponsored, and the lessons he shared with Nathaniel through the game, 18 Holes with Bing offers a rarified glimpse of a man who was one of the brightest stars of Hollywood’s golden age: Bing’s entertaining troops during World War II, his famous friends of stage and screen, his golf and entertainment tours throughout Europe, and, most of all, his humbleness—the modesty with which America’s greatest star played America’s greatest pastime.
