Description
"Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into a smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose." Winston Churchill
Whether it's the hacker who caught his own ricocheted drive, the pro who stripped down to his shorts to play a shot or the caddie who lost a golf bag during a round, one thing is certain: Golf is a funny game.
From bogies and birdies to par shots and eagles, Zullo offers outrageously funny golf tales certain to entertain golf's millions of enthusiasts.
From Arnie's infamous run-in with the ninth tee at Rancho Park Golf Course to the amateur hacker who was hit in the head by his own ricocheting golf ball, Allan Zullo presents more than 100 side-splitting anecdotes of life on the green for linksmen and women in dire need of a laugh and a lower handicap.
Recounting mulligans and master strokes from the days hickory shafts ruled the fairways to the 2006 PGA, Champions, and LPGA Tours, this comical compendium is executed with the precision of a flawless bunker shot into the cup.
