Bad Golf My Way [Paperback]

Leslie Nielson (Author), Henry Beard (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 19, 1997

There are twenty-five million golfers in North America who buy millions of golf instruction books every year. But until now, all of those books shared one fatal flaw-they were written for the 2,450 golfers that 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 rest of us (and 24 million other golfers). We are the legion of hopeless duffers and terminal hackers who know in our heart of hearts that no matter how much we practice, no matter what new tip we follow, no matter what foolproof method we embrace, we are never going to improve.



With Bad Golf My Way, Nielsen and humorist Henry Beard team up once again for the funniest golf book of the season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make a "Magic Move," and Get This Book, July 19, 2001

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.

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.
