About This Book
A lively collection of humorous essays, brief poems, and columns treats golf as both pastime and subject for comic scrutiny. The pieces combine practical advice and idiosyncratic technique—especially on putting—with playful rule critiques, etiquette sketches, and vivid short vignettes about rounds and clubroom talk. Wit and cadence predominate: the writer propounds unconventional theories, riffs on the game’s rituals, and uses observational humor to illuminate human foibles, rhythm in play, and the gentle absurdities that surround sport and leisure.
