Growing up in Miami, FL, the game of golf grabbed hold of me at an early age. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the courses and quiet nature of the sport. Now living in North Carolina and happily married for over thirty-six years with two beautiful grown daughters, the birth of our first granddaughter was the spark that perpetuated my desire to write a children’s book. The Golfing Bee was created as I drifted off to sleep one night. It represents something magical yet unconventional when we think about playing golf. It provides readers the opportunity to ponder how a bee can participate in the game while also allowing them to use their imagination.
