The Austin Country Club (ACC), founded in 1899, is the oldest and more prestigious club in Texas. The ACC is known for its rich golfing traditions, boasting four hall-of-fame golfers on its membership list. Beloved above all the club's golf lore and legends, however, is the memory of longtime club pro and internationally renowned golf instructor Harvey Penick. Known around the ACC as Mr. Penick, never as Harvey, the club's most celebrated character passed away twenty years ago. Mr. Penick's collection of golf tips and lessons, titled simply The Little Red Book, is the best-selling golf instruction manual in history. He taught generations of club members, from child prot g s to adults who came to the game late in life. He was best known, however, for his kindness, honesty, and gentle humor. As one club member noted, "Mr. Penick cared about you, not just your golf." In his new book, In the Grill Room Contemporary Austin Country Club in the Wake of Harvey Penick, Roger L. Terry, MD, collects club members' many warm memories of Mr. Penick into a single anecdotal volume. The compilation illustrates the life of a great man and preserves firsthand accounts of his character for golf lovers everywhere.

Party Weird: Festivals & Fringe Gatherings of Austin

Howie Richey

History Press Library Editions

In 1839, Texas officials toasted their new capital of Austin, and its citizens never ran out of excuses for revelry. Austinites celebrate their homegrown and vibrant culture, renowned and innovative music, street life and collective quirkiness with pride. While world-class events now call the city home, in a culture that eschews conformity at every turn, Austin's underground social gatherings are what truly earn it bragging rights. Discover the grass-roots origins of the enigmatic eccentricity that has drawn people from all corners of Texas and now from the whole world. Feel the beat of drum circles at Eeyore's Birthday Party in April, sling puns at the annual O. Henry Pun-Off or share a meal with strangers at the monthly Perpetual Potluck Picnic--or Jim O's, as the locals say. Author Howie Richey explores the offbeat, exuberant culture and history of the city that started with a party that just didn't stop.

Silver Hair and Golden Voice: Austin Willis, from Halifax to Hollywood

Silver Hair and Golden Voice: Austin Willis, from Halifax to Hollywood

Ernest Dick

Nimbus Publishing (CN)
2020
nidottu
Over his extensive career, Halifax-born film, television, and radio performer Austin Willis worked with luminaries from Orson Welles and Peter Sellers to a young William Shatner (his subordinate in CBC's Space Command--precursor to Star Trek). He bested Goldfinger at cards--with help from Sean Connery's James Bond--and with his prematurely white hair, he became the debonair, wry host of the 1970s CBC-TV quiz show, This Is The Law. Through his formidable personal library, his insatiable curiosity, and his conversations with the man himself, oral historian and archivist Ern Dick has brought the voice of Austin Willis to life in the memoir Willis wanted to write--but didn't, because he never stopped performing. Featuring a foreword by former CBC Radio personality Costas Halavrezos, afterword by arts and culture commentator Ron Foley MacDonald, and dozens of photos that highlight Willis's greatest moments of stage, screen, and airwaves, Silver Hair and Golden Voice offers a unique perspective on the life of one of Canada's most overlooked stars.

The Complete Catalogue of the Austin Seven

The Complete Catalogue of the Austin Seven

James Taylor

HERRIDGE SONS LTD
2023
sidottu
The Austin Seven was a hugely important arrival on the British motoring scene in 1922, its low price making car ownership available to a section of the public for whom this had earlier been a cost too far. It was cheap to run thanks to its small engine, and its simplicity did not frighten those new to the mechanics of a car. The Seven heralded the demise of the cheap but flimsy cyclecar, and in the longer term it also attracted buyers away from the motor-cycle-and-sidecar combinations that had been the only way into motorised transport for those of limited means. A century after the Seven’s introduction, the cars have a world-wide following. Part of the attraction is much the same as it always was – simplicity of maintenance and the low cost of ownership. Yet the sheer variety of Sevens produced between 1922 and 1939 as Austin gradually developed the model is also a source of fascination – and of some bewilderment and confusion. This book aims to give easy access to the key features of each variant of Austin Seven. It follows the vehicle’s evolution from its 1922 origins to 1939 when the last Seven was built. Yet the book goes far beyond that, giving details of models built outside Britain, coachbuilt cars, military variants and factory competition and record-breaking cars.
