An extract from A Fair Cop: The prisoner arrived once more with the trolley & placed the plate of food on to my hatch. Bunting he shouted pleasantly. I wasnt fooled. Thanks I said as I walked across the cell to collect it. As I put my hand out to reach for the plate he snatched it away. He held it up to the hatch & peered through at me. PC Bunting isnt it? he asked & then took a deep breath to muster as much saliva from the back of his throat as he could. With one swift movement he spat a big glob in to the middle of the food. The white phlegm floated around in brown gravy. Hey lads Im feeding the pig he said. With this two other prisoners came to my cell hatch. They looked at me sniggering. They then spat in my food too. The first prisoner put the plate on the hatch & gestured for me to come closer. Youre in our territory now you f***ing filth & were gonna f***ing carve you up." ...

Every weekend thousands of otherwise rational men & women are cursing kicking at divots & smashing expensively milled putters against the trunks of immovable hardwood trees. These players go home in a toxic funk to inflict gloom upon their loved ones until the following Saturday when they rush back to the golf course & do it all over again. In the summer of 2005 Carl Hiaasen picked up a golf club again for the first time in 32 years. He was not the best of players in 1973 & had certainly not got any younger in the intervening period. Undeterred & weighed down by an increasing quantity of golf equipment & game-enhancing products acquired from adverts on The Golf Channel who can see a sucker coming Carl was soon hacking & shanking his way around the courses of Florida & his obsession with the sport was rekindled. Animals were harmed during the making of this book. Over the course of the next 18 months Carls game got better then worse then slightly better then much worse again & he even managed to jinx Tiger Woods. On the way to finally summoning up the courage to compete in an actual tournament himself Carl details the hilarious consequences of his misguided belief that he could actually play the game. We also learn that Justin Timberlake has a better golf handicap (6) than Bob Dylan (17) that Eagle Trace golf course contains not one trace of an eagle & that Mind Drive capsules are not necessarily a good idea. But through all the misery & frustration (save the odd glorious shot) golf took up residence in Carls heart again. Fairway to Hell" is the ultimate tale of the trials & tribulations of the amateur golfer but also the heart-warming story of how the game brought together the generations of the Hiaasen family." ...
