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.

Mr Grunt's a man with a mission. He has to get a Person of Great Importance (or POGI) to someone called Mrs Bayliss by the twenty-fifth. Alive & well. & he can't tell anyone more than that not even his lovely wife Mrs Grunt because there will be people trying to snatch the POGI & so the POGI must be transported in secret. It's an exciting adventure but what interests Mr Grunt most are the silver coins he's been promised at the end of it. The Grunts' stolen son Sunny has a few questions. Who is the big-earringed cyclist? Why does the POGI have to wear a barrel all the time? Is Rodders Lasenby a lovely person or simply the rudest man on the planet? & how long will it be before they find themselves All At Sea? ...

Meet Mr & Mrs Grunt. Oh go on. They're not that bad. No actually they ARE. Maybe worse even. But Sunny their sort-of son is okay. They stole him from a washing line as a baby. He was hanging by his ears which probably explains why they're so wonky (but not why he has sticky-up hair that NEVER lies flat even if you pour glue into it or try taping it in place). Sticky around & you'll also meet Lord Bigg of Bigg Manor Bigg-hater Larry Smalls Mimi the Bigg Manor boot boy (yup she's a girl) &... Well you'll have to READ the book to find that out. But I should mention the bees. Did I warn you about the bees?! ...
