Description

The serious leisure aficionado knows that it doesn't take much to transform a ho-hum afternoon into a truly memorable one--just a few balls, some mallets, maybe a horseshoe or two. The transformative nature of lawn sports takes center stage in Balls on the Lawn, an ode to classic outdoor activities, from the common (bocce) to the obscure (Kan-Jam). Including the history and complete rules of 10 iconic games, plus appropriate accompanying cocktails (serious leisure requires serious sustenance), Balls on the Lawn will revolutionize Saturday afternoons through the long-held traditions, robust competition, and abundant camaraderie of lawn sports.

Author Bio

When Brooks Butler Hays dream of a horseshoes national championship was shattered by a beer bottle shard in his left heel, he decided to become a writer. Brooks fancies himself a utility player in the game of prose and continues to search for that one big book deal, the one that might allow him to return to his lost dream of professional lawn sporting. Like most narcissists, he believes he deserves that break. Jeremy Stein is an art director/designer/illustrator with skills in storyboarding and animation. He has won a CLIO award in the category of Innovative Media. http://jeremysteindesign.com/
