The Masters is in full swing this week and golf fans everywhere will be glued to Augusta, and there’s no better time to celebrate the passion, history, and lifelong journey the game inspires.
Meet veteran golfer and storyteller Joe Bronson, whose new book, PARdon Me: 50 Years of Golf, One Hole at a Time (Silicon Valley Press, April 2025), is the perfect companion for anyone who’s ever fallen in love with the game or still plans to.
In PARdon Me, Bronson shares a rich collection of personal stories from his decades-long journey through the game, highlighting legendary courses, once-in-a-lifetime Pro-Am moments (like a “bucket list” round with Arnold Palmer), and the enduring life lessons golf offers.
Having played 93 of the top 100 courses in the U.S. and many of the most prestigious courses around the world, Bronson brings a rare level of experience to his storytelling. A member of both the iconic Monterey Peninsula Country Club in Pebble Beach and Cordevalle Golf Club in San Martin, CA, he combines global business savvy with an unwavering passion for the sport.
He is also the author of two beloved golf books, Through the Green: Golf Shots, Spots, and Stories and Golf Chronicles: An Amateur’s Lifelong Dedication to the Game. Through his books and popular Golf Chronicles blog, Bronson offers readers thoughtful reflections on golf’s most iconic moments and courses.
Even better? All proceeds from his books help fund university golf programs, The First Tee, and youth golf organizations in local communities.
