R.I.P John Updike

January 27, 2009/ Geoff Shackelford

Nice work by the USGA communications staff for posting the lone golf-driven obituary of the legendary writer, with a quote from David Fay and text of his 1994 address at the USGA Centennial dinner.

At USGAMuseum.com they've posted a list of his contributions to various anthologies and Updike's USGA centennial essay "The Spirit of the Game."
