Reviews

Erik Hansen hits all the notes in this inspiring ode to golf, family, and the joys of wandering with clubs in tow.  Playing Sideways reminds us why we chase golf balls into life's yonder corners: not for pars or for birdies, but for the people with whom we might share them.  

--Tom Coyne, New York Times bestseller author 

"A truly enjoyable read! Erik's wit, self-deprecating humor and spot-on internal observations resonate with the golfer in all of us! Through his storytelling style, I was transported across the pond and experienced a beautiful story of vulnerability, discovery and awareness of applying lessons learned from golf to life."

The best golf book I've read. And I read a lot.  I loved it.  I honestly thought it was going to suck. Tons of fun that I couldn't put down.  Took me about 2 hours to read it!

Hello and thanks for visiting.  My name is Erik C. Hansen (The C is for Carl and a tribute to my grandfater!) and it's my pleasure to come to you as an author.  As a family man raised in Northern California, I currently reside in Orange County, CA with my wife and kids.   I love doing new things and becoming an author has become one of them.  

If there's two things I enjoy, it's golf and pretty much anything with wheels on it.  My love of both stems from my youth and I hope to share with you a mid-life's full of experiences that are fun and exciting.
