A Scot by birth and New Zealander by domicile. Stan Sutherland has come a long way from working in a Scottish shipyard to find himself living in New Zealand and writing books. All of them self-published and the best to date is Life’s Lessons Frae The Links. A book containing inspiring stories about golf and famous golfers.
His interest in what’s popularly called self-development was the driving force to creating Life’s Lessons... and was inspired by a fellow Toastmaster who suggested he give a speech containing 18 interesting golf-related stories. A good idea but of course too long for a 10 minute speech.
Asked why he turned his hand to writing Stan said he had always been interested in telling stories.
A reviewer of his most recent book writes, ‘His interesting style makes you feel you are sitting down chatting rather than reading’.
Knowledge, inspiration, motivation with some laughs along the way.
Why Kerikeri you may ask.
The reply to that as described in the Introduction.
'Kerikeri is a town in the north half of North Island, New Zealand. And it's where my middle-aged life hit bottom. In Māori, Kerikeri means digging or keep on digging which sounded like an appropriate theme as a starting point for a story in a book about my personal experiences in various parts of the world.'
The book contains 14 first-class pen and ink illustrations to aid in conveying the feel of various chapters such as Sydney and Beyond; A Wake-Up Call at Williams Lake and All Men Die which sounds sombre but is in fact an inspiring story of a visit to the Alamo. And Chapter 12, Pearl Harbor - USS Arizona Memorial contains a memorable reminder that we ignore the past at our peril.
