PARdon Me: A Golf Memoir That’s Equal Parts Wisdom, Wedges and Wit

PARdon Me isn’t an apology for a topped chip; it’s the exuberant new memoir that sends Joseph “Joe” Bronson marching down memory lane—spikeless shoes squeaking, grin widening—as he revisits 50 years of dimpled delight.

Hot off the April 2025 presses and front-loaded with a foreword from NFL icon Steve Young, this third volume in Bronson’s series refuses to lay up. Instead, it aims straight for the flag—and, mercifully, rarely finds the bunker.

What the Golf Course Can Teach You About Leadership and Business Relationships

You can learn more about a person in four hours on a golf course than in four months of meetings.. It’s a place where egos collide with bunkers, tempers get tested by three-putts and true character is on full display. Golf is a reflection of who we are as human beings, and how we interact with each other. In the business context, there may be significant commercial stakes involved not in contractual terms but whether the customer and supplier can work and support each other’s financial interests.
