Description

Teenagers are notorious for differences with their parents, but George Peper has been lucky to share a special friendship with his 18-year-old son, Scott. For the past decade the two have bonded over a mutual passion for golf, spending hundreds of hours together they would never have enjoyed if not for a love of chasing around a little white ball. Now, Peper examines their relationship, analysing how their roles have morphed from faultless father and worshipful son to teacher and pupil, dictator and insurgent, and ultimately, target and assassin, as son tries to outscore father over 18 holes. In an endearing portrait, George Peper hits on the universal lessons of life, love and golf - as he's learned them from his teenage son
