Description
In Unplayable Lies, Dan Jenkins takes us on a tour of the links as only he can do it. Here, Dan delves into the greatest rounds of golf he's ever seen, the funniest things said on a golf course, the rivalries on tour and in the press box, the game's most magical moments-and its most absurd. Filled with well-known characters like Tiger Woods, to others like Titanic Thompson-gambler, golf hustler, accused murderer, legendary storyteller-Unplayable Lies is an ode to the game of golf and the people who play it. But it is Dan Jenkins, so nothing-even the game itself-can escape his wrath, his critical eye, or his acerbic pen. This is Dan Jenkins at his best, writing about the sport he loves the most.
