Grumpy Golfer's Handbook

Product Description

Following in the curmudgeonly footsteps of One Grump or Two & The Grumpy Driver's Handbook Grumpy Golfer is a compilation of all things miserable about playing golf. Mark Twain famously said golf is a good walk spoiled " but actually it's a lot worse than that. Golf can be a good life spoiled after you become enraged with the behaviour of a Stableford competitor & bury a sand wedge in a place where it's impossible to get relief. All the evils of golf are included: the slice the hook the snap-hook the shank the first tee duff & the yips. There are also sections on annoying hazards such as lakes streams trees deep bunkers greenkeepers dog walkers & 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 & putt the 1-iron geriatric fourballs golf magazines scorecard pencils Peter Allis links courses bizarre putters metal drivers & winter rules. All in all a great book for grumps."
