This week on Valley Writers Read, our program revolves around the sport of golf with two stories by local authors. In Angelo Angarano's “Born Again Golfer,” we hear what happened to an avid golfer when he enlisted a Zen Buddhist golf pro to help him answer an important question. And in David Creighton's story “Golf! A Four-Lettered Word” the author describes what happened to a golfer who dumped three consecutive golf shots right into the middle of a lake.
