Synopsis

In all the long and distinguished history of the ancient and noble game, few works have illuminated golf as entertainingly - and as truthfully as this one. Green Rough and Bunker, goes even further than other golfing collections, however for it is as devoted to the quirky as it is to fine writing, and is as witty as it is wide ranging. Here is some of the best writing about golf - fiction and nonfiction - to be found anywhere; here to are wonderful true tales, extraordinary anecdotes, great characters and pithy sayings. From luminaries of the game past and present - like Peter Allis, Sam Snead, or Seve Ballesteros - to those who have had little to do with it, but plenty to say - like Winston Churchill, Mark Twain and William Shakespeare - no other analogy has come close to capturing not only the reality but also the spirit of golf. From King James II of Scotland to James Bond; the Cunard Liner QE2 to Mary Queen of Scots; to P.G.A to P.G. Wodehouse, this wise but wildly funny book is certain to delight expert and tyro alike.
