As a self-confessed golf freek myself, I found myself laughing out loud more than once and sharing passages with my wife so that she could enjoy the writings and thoughts of another golf addict rather than just my own confessions. The author is witty and amusing and offers an entertaining collection of golf stories from around the world. If you aren't a golf freek, you may not relate to this book; but if you are, there is a lot of enjoyment in travelling along with Steve on his adventures and relating to someone who has a similar "disease" for golf!

A horrible book. Author is nothing but a self absorbed name dropper. Even the chapters that deal with the Wounded Warrior project digress into self aggrandizement. One really outrageous moment is the episode where the author and pal steal a sign from a course in PA. The author then reports about another sign from a "Whites Only" country club. He said he wanted it so that the "old bastards would have to pay to replace it." Are you kidding me? You're trying to say you struck a blow for civil rights by stealing an offending sign? If you were so offended, what were you doing playing the course in the first place? Just plain gross, another in a too long line of silly, self absorbed, golf narratives. Yuck
