Life Above Par: A Collection of Adventures and Tales from one man's Lifetime of Golf

Life Above PAR tracks author Phil Robinson's adventures through 60 years of golf. The adventures run the gamut of emotions -- from funny, to tragic, and even a couple about love.

The book is set up like a round of golf. There are 18 holes (stories), a Halfway House with Chip Shots (short stories) and a 19th hole with favorite 19th holes and 19th hole encounters. It concludes with an Appendix featuring his 12 Step Guide for Successful Business Golf, Business Golf Stories, Favorite Fairway Finds and his Top 99 Courses played.

Phil resides in Hanover, MA with his wife Tina. He has two sons, Erik and Kurt. Sports have played a major role in his life. From playing high school and college football to coaching both his sons in multiple sports to being a board certified official in football, basketball and baseball, he has gained many memorable experiences from his multiple sporting involvements.

Golf came along and has become a passion. Maybe his parents knew what was to come when they gifted him the perfect golf initials, PAR.
