“There are stories about outspoken caddies, spectacular holes-in-one, lost balls and lost tempers.
Also included are quotable quotes from: Joe E. Lewis (“Give me my golf clubs, the fresh air and a beautiful partner – and you can keep the golf clubs, and the fresh air.”) Garry Player (“The more I practice, the luckier I get.”) and Harry Weetman (“If you want to hit the ball further, hit it a bloody sight harder.”).
Then there are the jokes – about golfing wives, golfing drunks, golfing clergy, even golfing prime ministers, and those golfing widows who entice their husbands into bed by wearing nightgowns made out of astroturf!”
