THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM

Prof. John H. Minan from USD School of Law and author of the book “The Little Green Book of Golf Law” provided humorous anecdotes, taken from his book, of how the law “permeates” the game of golf.  Prof. Minan followed his discussion with clips from such movies as “Caddie Shack”, Sideways and “Tin Cup” to illustrate some of his points resulting in a very entertaining morning. Prof. Minan’s book may be purchased from all major booksellers online or at the mall.
