A wickedly funny A to Z of golfing terms, the perfect gift for anyone who has ever marched down a fairway or found themselves 'Broccoli-beating' the rough or knee-deep in the 'Cat Box'.
An irreverent handbook packed with the funniest slang words, outrageous phrases and bizarre jargon as used daily by professionals and social golfers around the world.
Essential laugh-out-loud reading for all players and followers of sport's most infuriating game, packed with witty and weird jargon from the world's clubhouses, greens and fairways... and the rough, the lake, the bunker, the shrubbery and the trees.
Adolf Hitler, Airmail, Amen Corner, Army Golf ... Bandit, Brassie, Brazilian, Breakfast Ball ... Ferret, Flub, Flusher, Fried Egg ... Rabbit, Rickshaw, Ryanair, Rushdie ... Waggle, Whiff, Wise (Dennis), Wormburner... this comprehensive glossary contains over 400 curious and laugh-out-loud words and phrases from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond.
Few sports can claim a heritage as ancient as golf, and few are richer in error-strewn comedy, spiteful asides and bizarre terminology. This delightfully illustrated edition will provoke a laugh from every page.
From St. Andrews to Augusta, Royal St. George's to The Royal Melbourne, Sunningdale to Sun City, Pebble Beach to Pine Valley... golfers share the same funny language, united in humour and exasperation by the same challenges, hazards, obstacles and errors.
This densely packed volume of hilarious terms will appeal to every golf enthusiast and clubhouse bore ever to have found themselves on a Claggy Lie on a Goat Track, pulled out the Hand Wedge deep in the Cabbage or smashed a Ferret out of the Kitty Litter, the perfect gift for golf tragics around the globe.
