L'AUTEUR An engineer by training,
Jacques Grieu , a Norman
from
Le Havre, is an arts amateur.
He always wrote narratives and
poems, on his pupil's exercise
books, on paper tablecloths in
restaurants or articles in
magazines. It was already the
case at 16, when he was a
resident scholar in the
Chamonix valley. Then later,
when he was a mountain
infantryman.
But it is offshore, while
sailing during numerous
regatta throughout Europe,
that he wanted to satisfy his
competitive spirit. And, more
calmly, he cruises between
Belle-Ile and the Golfe du
Morbihan for the last 50 years.
He nevertheless had to wait
for retirement to find the
time to publish … The father
of 3 children and 8 times
grandfather, he continues to
practice ski with his family.
He is also an amateur of golf,
chess and painting.

Plus et mieux qu'une histoire de golfeurs :
l’histoire d’une passion folle dans le cadre idyllique des mythiques « portes » d’Étretat.
In 1963, Etienne, a student from Le Havre with a sensitive temperament and literary tastes studies hard for his “Maths exam”. To fulfil his parent’s wishes, he must become a highly qualified engineer. Still a beginner as a golf-player on the Etretat course, an encounter will upset the course of his life. A kind of ghost that will take him 42 years to bring back to life again. In 2005, still in the same enchanting places, an unexpected shock will savagely take him back to his teen-ager’ dreams. Too late, may be? Throughout these pages, often funny ones, the reader emotionally follows Etienne’s and his friend’s adventures, all of them passionate golf-players, as much as he was. In each one’s own way, discovering that golf is not everything in life. The reader often smiles, at times he laughs. Some of them will somewhat cry.
