Book Description

May 1, 1996
From the bestselling coauthors of Leslie Nielsen's Stupid Little Golf Book comes another book of hilarious and worthless golf wisdom--a parody of the classic golf instruction book, Jack Nicklaus's Golf My Way.

There are twenty-five million golfers in North America who buy millions of copies of golf instruction books annually. But until now, all of those books shared one fatal flaw--they were written for the 2,450 golfers who actually play halfway decent golf and just want to get that annoying 79 down to a respectable 72.

Now, at last, Leslie Nielsen, the World's Greatest Bad Golfer, has produced a golf instruction book for the 24,997,550 rest of us--the legion of hopeless duffers and terminal hackers who know in their heart of hearts that no matter how much they practice, no matter what new tip they follow, no matter what foolproof method they embrace, they are never going to improve.

Covering everything from the Inside-Way-Out Swing to the Magic Move that lets you hit the ball 110 yards with any club in the bag, and lavishly illustrated with photographs of the Master himself, Bad Golf My Waydemonstrates Leslie Nielsen's deeply flawed swing style and curious course-playing strategies that have earned him the coveted title, "The Arnold Palmer of Bad Golf."

5.0 out of 5 stars Make a "Magic Move," and Get This Book, July 19, 2001
By 
Chad Spivak (North Miami Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bad Golf My Way (Paperback)
Leslie Nielson, the king of slapstick comedy, has come out with one of the funniest books that I have ever read. BAD GOLF MY WAY is one of the greatest golf instructional books ever written for the masses...well, minus those 2450 people who actually wish to improve their game.

This book is hysterical and the illustrated pictures are a riot. In this instructional book, Nielson pokes fun at golf by sharing his views and unorthodox approach to the game. His off-the-wall swing and mental aspects are hilarious. He truly is the "Arnold Palmer of Bad Golf."

This book will make you laugh out loud. It is a very quick read, and one of pure enjoyment. This is a must for any golfer. BAD GOLF MY WAY is a hole in one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too funny to adequately describe., June 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bad Golf My Way (Paperback)
A spoof on the typical golf instruction book, this book is organized by chapters such as "The Address" and "The Swing." Here the similarities between other "instructional books" and this one end.My wife hated me while I was reading this book because the shaking bed due to my laughter kept her awake night after night. This and "Missing Links" by Rick Reilly are clearly the funniest golf books in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hillarious, the funniest book I've ever read, April 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Bad Golf My Way (Hardcover)
The crazy antics of Leslie Nielson's golf game continue. It points out the hillarious little quirks of golf that we all wish we could really try. A must have for any golfer.

First Sentence:
Most golf books start with the grip, or the clubs, or the setup for the swing, and I'm going to get to those in a moment, but I want to begin Bad Golf My Way with what I believe to be the single most important element in the game of golf-the ball. Read the first page
