5 out of 5 stars A great read   August 7, 2008
As a "golfer" (and the quotes are necessary in the interest of truth), this is one of the funniest books ever written about this most confounding and frustrating sport. If you ever or never played the game, you'll enjoy it. If you've played a round and are ready to give up, but then remember the one or two respectable shots you hit, you'll relate to his story of returning to the game after a decades long lay-off. A great gift for anyone with an interest in the game.


5 out of 5 stars Got Golf?   August 4, 2008
For anyone who plays or wants to learn to play golf, this book is real life experience of the games frustrations. Written in Hiaason's humorous style, you empathize with his struggle. Easy read and fun book.



5 out of 5 stars Most Enjoyable Book   July 26, 2008
I enjoyed reading this book more than I have enjoyed any book in the past several years.


5 out of 5 stars A fun read.   July 26, 2008
An easy reading, enjoyable book. I'm not in any way a golfer and I still liked it.


5 out of 5 stars Enjoyable even for a non-golfer!   July 24, 2008
Excellent book! Love the author's sense of humor. My husband's a long-tme golfer but I have no interest. Actually, the subject of golf is extremely boring to me. However, I purchased this audio-book for a car trip and both of us REALLY enjoyed it.
