This exhilarating book by JL Bouler and co-author Douglas Bernard Rasheed is based on a true story. James “Slim” Bouler, also known as JL, began playing golf at an early age during the 1960s and had mastered the game by the age of 18. Being poor and Black during those days made it virtually impossible to gain acceptance on the pro circuit, so he eventually had to use his extraordinary golf skills to earn money by playing high stakes rounds with the rich and famous.
His adventures in golf gave him access to some of the best times of his life as he partied, golfed, and gambled with A-List celebrities and heavy hitters like Telly Savalas, Kevin McHale, Julius Irving, Donald Trump, Lawrence (LT) Taylor and Michael Jordan among many others.
Slim made worldwide headline news when Michael Jordan was compelled to take the stand during his trial for multiple federal offenses. He subsequently spent 8 years and 15 days in a federal penitentiary following his conviction.
This memoir chronicles his life experiences and sheds light on the real story behind the prosecution’s vicious effort to nab the “big fish” Michael Jordan, and his choice to do the time rather than feed them a false story designed to implicate “His Airess”.
In this 268-page paperback book, Slip peels back the layers of his life like layers of an onion. His down-home and witty street jargon is irresistible as he talks candidly about his exploits. Slim has lived life to the fullest and has seen both sides of the fence between rich and poor. From the outhouse, to the penthouse, to the Big House, and back. These are the life and times of James “Slim” Bouler, one of the greatest golf hustlers ever. ISBN: 9 798408 593644. Available on Amazon.
