The Golfer's Excuse Handbook


Book Description

Do you have a friend or family member who loves golf? Better yet, do you know the frustration and hilarity that comes with trying to play this beautiful sport? Everyone who has experienced the game of golf understands that it can be frustrating, unfair, and embarrassing to play. Sometimes, if you are the sad individual who hit a poor shot, you might be tempted to provide an excuse to your playing partners. A good excuse can relieve the tension, and maybe even bring a few laughs. Sometimes, though, an excuse can be hilarious just by its lack of credulity. A golfer can chalk their bad shot up to anything, absolutely anything, and that's when the excuse becomes a funny moment. Golfers share these stories with their friends, and it's not the shot they remember, only the hilarious excuse. The Golfer's Excuse Handbook contains 250 excuses on a range of subjects all over the golf course, and a few that extend beyond the links! - Five different chapters, one for each group of excuses and the topics likely to draw a golfer's ire. - Each chapter features interesting golf history and trivia, as well! - There are also entertaining golf quotes from players, world leaders, and other well-known individuals within these pages. - Chapter subjects include the golf course itself, a golfer's playing partners, and the weather! This book will entertain any fan of the game, from those who watch the pros to anyone who dares to swing a club. Perhaps this book can start a conversation with friends and family members about who has the worst excuses on the course, or who has said the most outrageous line in a moment of shame. Maybe there's a golfer in your life that needs help with their excuse game! This book can also serve any golfer with a ton of ideas on how to deflect the embarrassment of that bad shot. And, if you have someone in your life who is particularly unskilled, they may need multiple excuses to make it through a round! This book is bound to bring a smile to anyone who has experienced the struggle of golf. It will make readers smile, laugh out loud, and most importantly, appreciate the joy and pain that is the game of golf. Grab a copy of The Golfer's Excuse Handbook and tee up the fun today!

Golf It's a Funny Old Game


Book Description

For us rabbits the game of golf is a constant battle between fantasy and reality. The great hopes and ambitions that accompany us on the first tee quickly evaporate by a combination of mother nature, gravity and the cruelest of luck. One of the charms of the Great Game is that we are constantly chasing what is, in theory, attainable but in reality highly elusive. It is a perpetual series of occasions for hope. David Feherty summed it up when he said; "Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle." It is astonishing how long the occasional miracle can remain in the memory to the total eclipse of all else. Golf is a game whose hook is baited with hope. This book is a compendium of quotes from players who have been similarly troubled by the journey from great hopes to cruel reality. I hope you enjoy their reflections.
