  How to Save a Small Fortune -...

  There has never been a better time for us to start taking saving seriously. 
    
  Our hyper-meritocratic world has long glorified the notion of constantly earning more in order to fuel victory in some futile race to lifestyle and possessions. And so the careful saver was always the subject of ridicule. 
    
  Then along came COVID-19. Jobs disappeared overnight, and those who kept theirs could forget about pay rises any time soon. Suddenly, those who had a nest egg and knew how to stretch every cent looked clever. 
    
  At the same time, the global shutdown brought out hitherto wasteful ways into sharp focus. As with smart saving, nobody was cracking jokes about sustainable, responsible living. 
    
  Which is why now is the moment for champion saver (professional Scrooge, if you will) R.A. Dalkey to share an essential truth: a calculated approach to spending isn't just good for your bank balance, it's good for the planet too. It's the right thing to do. 
    
  And, as he already showed in his extreme budget travel books, sensible spending is neither dull nor boring! In fact, it makes marvellous things possible…

  In 1942, the United States Golf Association (USGA) cancelled its four golf tournaments for the duration of World War II. But then it did something different in only that year—it sponsored the Hale-America National Open on the same weekend as the cancelled US Open. The great Ben Hogan won that tournament and went to his grave believing he had therefore won a record five US Open titles.In The Open Question, Peter May turns his attention to this controversial, colorful Hale-America National Open of 1942. While providing an in-depth look at the tournament itself, May champions Hogan's claim to five US Open titles and debunks some questionable assertions that the tournament was not worthy of a US Open. Set against the backdrop of World War II, May also tells the stories of other professional golfers in the tournament and the impact of the war on all their lives.The USGA has never recognized the Hale-America Tournament as an official US Open and remains firm in its stance. It was a decision that bothered Ben Hogan for the rest of his life. The Open Question shows how dominant Ben Hogan was against some of the biggest names in golf, and reveals why he deserves to be recognized as a five-time US Open winner.
