Tim Peel has completed his new book, “Caddie to the Stars: Athletes, Celebrities, and Politicians Plus Caddie Golf Secrets”: an engaging memoir detailing the author’s experiences while working as a caddie master, and the various stars and other important persons he met.

“I wrote this book to show what a great job caddieing is and the many opportunities it affords,” writes Peel. “It’s a life-changing job. If done right by the caddie master, this can open doors to the caddies that never would have happened in other jobs. As a caddie master, I would set up the caddie to put them in the right situation.

“If the young caddie wanted to be an actor, lawyer, or car salesman or work on Wall Street, you would have them caddie for the members or guests that best suits their future ambitions. It’s like a working interview. They can see how hard you work and how you interact with others and how professional you perform your job.

Recent release “Day Hiking Yosemite National Park” from Page Publishing author Brian King is a useful resource that details each day hike within Yosemite National Park—from the extremely popular to the little-known, off-the-beaten-path trails. Also detailed are hikes in the surrounding national forest lands as well as nearby excursions.

Brian King, who was born and raised in Southern California outside of Los Angeles, has completed his new book “Day Hiking Yosemite National Park”: a helpful and engaging guide that helps readers optimize their experience at Yosemite National Park.

Author Brian King currently lives in Carson City, Nevada. He has one son who was born in 2018. As a child, the author took several family vacations to Yosemite, and as an adult, he continued to return on almost a yearly basis. In 2015, he got a job in Yosemite and lived and worked there for three years. It was during this time that he got to explore the park and had the inspiration to write this book. He continues to return to Yosemite each year, now bringing his son with him.

Brian King writes, “Yosemite National Park is one of the jewels of the national park system in the United States. Located in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range of east-central California, Yosemite draws visitors from all over the United States and the world by the millions every year to marvel at the spectacular scenery and unique geological features found within its boundaries. Yosemite National Park covers an area of 747,956 acres (roughly the size of the state of Rhode Island) and ranges in elevation from 2,127 feet at the southwestern border in the Merced River Canyon near the Arch Rock entrance station to 13,114 at the summit of Mount Lyell on the southeastern border of the park at the head of Lyell Canyon. The idea of preserving Yosemite for generations to come first began in the early 1860s with the support of Galen Clark, who would become the first guardian of the park and Senator John Conness. On June 30, 1864, during the height of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill known as the Yosemite Grant that set aside Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove for protection as a state park, making this the first time that public land had been set aside for permanent protection.”

Published by Page Publishing, Brian King’s informative guide helps readers prepare for their trips to Yosemite National Park, offering practical information that helps readers plan for the ideal trip.

Readers who wish to experience this educational work can purchase “Day Hiking Yosemite National Park” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Jeff Miller announces his return into the publishing scene with the release of “Teammates for Life: The Inspiring Story of Auburn University’s Unbelievable, Unforgettable and Utterly Amazin’ 1972 Football Team, Then and Now” (published by Archway Publishing). This is the story of Auburn University’s underrated Auburn Tigers 1972 football team that pulled together to incredibly upset the unbeaten Alabama Crimson Tide on two blocked punts and have been coming to each other’s aid ever since.

The Tigers were predicted to drop into the bottom half of the Southeastern Conference standings after losing quarterback Pat Sullivan, who won the 1971 Heisman Trophy, and All-American receiver Terry Beasley. Going into their opening game, they had only five offensive plays. However, Auburn proved its critics wrong all year long, capping an unbelievable season with a jaw-dropping upset of Alabama, returning two blocked punts for touchdowns in the game’s closing minutes. Instead of finishing in sixth place in the SEC, the team finished fifth—in the country!

The Amazin’s, as they were nicknamed, won as a result of the bonds they formed during grueling winter workouts and August two-a-day practices under the unforgiving Alabama sun. Fifty years later, the Amazin’s still find strength in each other, facing new challenges as teammates for life.

“This book will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good underdog tale. But the book continues years later to show how devoted these 1972 Tigers became to each other long after they played their last football game,” Miller says. “I hope Auburn football fans and sports fans in general will enjoy — and even Alabama fans can appreciate — the story of the 1972 Tigers, for what they achieved against the odds on the football field back then and what they’ve meant to each other and done for each other since.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/832752-teammates-for-life

Recent release “Doogles and Sports Advice” from Page Publishing author Jared Williams introduces Doogles, a half duck and half woozle silly blue alien creature, who attempts to provide sports advice while living here on Earth.

Jared Williams, who graduated from Sam Houston State University, has completed his new book “Doogles and Sports Advice”: an imaginative tale in which a friendly alien offers sports advice.

When author Jared Williams was in fifth grade, he designed the alien duck character known as Doogles. Never missing a chance to be creative, Jared continued to explore various artistic avenues, quickly discovering his passion for writing and music. In high school, Jared’s poem “Teenage Reality” won a young writers award and was selected for publication. During this same time, he also became lead vocals for a local rock group.

Jared received a bachelor’s degree in mass communications, which helped pave the way for his career in marketing. With a few stops along the way, Jared eventually won two AMA Crystal Awards for his creative concepts in marketing. Shortly after that, he decided to go into business for himself.

Jared is happily married with two children. He is the proud owner of the local Texas marketing agency, Prospecks Marketing. He still enjoys dabbling in music, writing, and other creative side projects, but after a thirty-year wait, Doogles has become a primary focus again.

Jared summarizes his book by saying, “During Doogles time on our planet he’s noticed many interesting things about us. One thing he learned is that we really enjoy competition and games, especially sports. He understands that we really like to win and like to be the best. So, he makes a comical attempt at coaching us to be the best possible athlete Earth has ever seen.

Published by Page Publishing, Jared Williams’s imaginative tale follows Doogles as he presents readers with failed sports suggestions and tactics trying to help them reach a superior level of athleticism.

Readers who wish to experience this creative work can purchase “Doogles and Sports Advice” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Sports writer Greg D. Tranter digs into Buffalo, N.Y.’s long history of upsets in The Buffalo Sports Curse: 120 Years of Pain, Disappointment, Heartbreak, and Eternal Optimism, published by RIT Press.

Did someone put a hex on professional sports in Buffalo, N.Y.? Sports writer Greg D. Tranter thinks so. His new book makes a case for the curse, beginning in 1901, when the promise of an original American League baseball franchise in Buffalo came and went—to Boston.

Tranter digs into the city’s long history of upsets in The Buffalo Sports Curse: 120 Years of Pain, Disappointment, Heartbreak, and Eternal Optimism, published by RIT Press. He investigates why Buffalo has never won “a universally recognized championship in any of the four major professional sports in America: baseball, basketball, football and hockey.” (The author dismisses the Buffalo Bills’1964 and 1965 American Football League championships as secondary to the National Football League in that era.)

Tranter traces the curse on professional sports in Buffalo to a trifecta of bad luck in 1901, beginning with the lost bid for the new major league baseball franchise, extending to the assassination of President William F. McKinley while attending the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, and sealed by the sudden death of the owner of the Buffalo Bison’s minor league baseball team. The book catalogues 120 years of cursed moments.

“All of the close calls, blown calls, injuries, deaths, nefarious back-office dealings, maladies, and weird happenings have occurred at just the wrong time to keep Buffalo teams from winning those championships,” Tranter writes. “Buffalo’s losing ways are too pronounced to ignore, which gives rise to the idea of a curse.”

Buffalo sports fans are the champions in Tranter’s book. He lauds their extreme loyalty and devotion, and details some of the curse-countering rituals that are woven into Buffalo’s saga.

To purchase a copy of The Buffalo Sports Curse, contact RIT Press at 585-475-5819 or ritpress@rit.edu.
