Product Overview

The perfect gift for curmudgeons who love to hategolf

All the evils of golf are included in this miscellany of misery: the slice, the hook, the snap-hook, the shank, the first tee duff, and the yips. There are also sections on annoying hazards, such as lakes, streams, trees, deep bunkers, green keepers, dog walkers, and bringing along the girlfriend. There are the usual tirades against a variety of golf-themed items: clubhouses, two-tier driving ranges, golf gloves, ladies tees, pitch and putt, the 1-iron, geriatric fourballs, golf magazines, scorecard pencils, Peter Allis, links courses, bizarre putters, metal drivers, and winter rules. Mark Twain famously said Golf is a good walk spoiled, but actually its a lot worse than that. Golf can be a good life spoiled after becoming enraged with the behavior of a competitor and burying a sand wedge in a place where it is impossible to get relief. This great book for grumps is company for the misery.
