"Several golf writers have said ‘One for the Memory Banks,’ a book about friendship on golf courses in the UK, has made their all-time, top-10 list, and is the next ‘Tuesdays with Morrie.’ This book is also one of my all-time favorites, but for different reasons. For me, this book was a gift. It was a chance to work with my dad, to spend thousands of hours on FaceTime trying to get the chapters just right, laughing the whole way, and crying when we finally did. It was about learning from my dad’s stories, of when he was in his early 30’s (with me in tow in my diapers) figuring out life, saying yes to opportunities, and finding an incredible mentor in Allan “Bondy” Bond who taught him (and me) so much about golf, but more importantly about life and showing up for your loved ones. With his searing wit, and with so much heart, Bondy would say, “Build the memory banks…there are no mulligans…” or as non-golfers would say, there are no do-overs. Make the most of the time you have, and cherish loved ones and connection with everything you’ve got. I am honored and humbled to share this part of my family with you. This book has left an indelible mark on me, and I hope it touches you too this holiday season.“ - Madeline Reese
New York Times (NYT Critics Choice): "Pass Over emerges like a star: in top shape and at full throttle. It inaugurates the new season with unexpected joy." - Jesse Green
The Washington Post: "Pass Over, the first new Broadway play in what feels like an eternity, has its official open. And it's worth the wait." - Peter Marks
Vulture: "At first, it’s hard to distinguish between the ebullient mood of the first-time-back audience and the rhapsodic vibrations of the show itself. The first play to open on Broadway since the 2020 shutdown is Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s Pass Over, and the night I saw it, a several-minute ovation preceded the show. Even before the curtain rose, the turn-off-your–cell phones announcement prompted a wild round of applause, with people shouting and stamping and raising their hands over their heads in jubilation. Anyone who has seen Nwandu’s work knows there’s a combustible quality to her writing. It was almost frightening to be in an audience so full of open flames." - Helen Shaw
