Bowling Green, Ohio - Washington Post writer and noted author John Feinstein will be the featured speaker at the annual BGSU Men's Basketball Tip-Off Dinner, Friday, November 12 at the Lenhart Ballroom in the Bowen-Thompson Student Union.
Feinstein came to national prominence in 1986 with the publication of A Season on the Brink: A Year with Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers, now the best-selling sports book of all time.
Feinstein has since written numerous successful books, appeared regularly on National Public Radio and ESPN, and served as a visiting professor of journalism at Duke University. He's the rare sportswriter whose name can sell a book.
In recent years, Feinstein has focused largely on golf, notably in his best-selling chronicle of the 1994 PGA season, A Good Walk Spoiled; last year's short volume The First Coming: Tiger Woods - Master or Martyr?; and his column for Golf Magazine. His latest book, The Majors: In Pursuit of Golf's Holy Grail, takes on golf's grand slam: the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with dinner and the program to follow at 7:15 p.m. Cost is $100 for an individual ticket and $800 for a VIP table. For reservations call Sheri at 419-372-2255.
Proceeds raised will go directly to the Summer Scholarship Program for Men's Basketball.
