Wise
Words For Golfers

RRP: £12.99
ISBN: 1-86204-401-0
An
essential compendium of wit and wisdom suitably celebrating
the Royal and Ancient game.
Golf is
a game of temperament and character. It is the sport of kings,
presidents and gluttons for punishment. For centuries it has
exhilerated - and frustrated - anyone who has ever picked
up a club. It is a game full of contradictions, indeed to
the serious golfer it's more than a game - it's an obsession,
a passion, an addiction and a curse.
Filled
with the wit and wisdom of great golfers, writers and celebrities,
from Alastair Cooke to Bob Hope, from Winston Churchill to
Billy Graham and from Bobby Jones to Jack Nicklaus, Wise Words
for Golfers is a witty anthology of quotes and anecdotes,
offering a unique insight into the world's most frustrating
and rewarding game.
In sections
covering everything from "Legends of the Game" to
"The Caddie", Dale Concannon mixes literary insights
with little-known but astonishing fcts and quirky illustrations.
Lady golfers have their say along with the men, who in turn
offer their opinion about the women's game. Wise Words for
Golfers deals with golf in all its frustrations, joys and
idiosyncrasies: a must have for golfers from all walks of
life.
