I’m thinking of changing the title of the memoir about my father’s last year. At the Columbus Writer’s Conference, an editor told us, “The title should sell; the subtitle should tell.” I’m not sure Memorial: Our Last Year on the Links, meets that standard.
Here are some of my other title ideas:
- Memorial: a Father, a Daughter, and a Whole Bunch of Sand Traps
- Sand Traps: a Daughter’s Memory of her Dad’s Last Year
- The Chaparral Golf Club Curse
- The Final Round: Dad’s Last Year on the Links
- Putting Out
- Playing Through
Which one do you like best? Have any other ideas? Please share! The publisher will ultimately have the last word on this, but if we come up with something brilliant, they might go for it.
