"For golfers only!...A bouillabaisse of golf history, stories, one-liners, and believe-it-or-nots....A pleasure to look over in the random moment."--The Times (Trenton) "Golf's rich history is filled with entertaining anecdotes. Up until now, most stories have been passed along by word of mouth, in troubadour fashion. Bob Sommers has pulled many of the more enjoyable stories together and the result is a book which will be read and reread with delight."--David B. Fay, Executive Director, United States Golf Association "Stories of all kinds are a great part of the fascination of golf, as well as the tradition of the game. You might want to verify your particular favorite story with this book, but Bob Sommers has made learning golf history a lot of fun as well."--Ben Crenshaw, 1995 Masters Champion "A cornucopia of tales about the game and its players, this compendium...will entertain fairway fans."--Publishers Weekly "For golfers only!...A bouillabaisse of golf history, stories, one-liners, and believe-it-or-nots....A pleasure to look over in the random moment."--The Times (Trenton) "Golf's rich history is filled with entertaining anecdotes.
