All golfers share at least a hundred common emotions, idiosyncrasies, and flaws when it comes to the game of golf. You will laugh and you will cringe as you read each page of this very funny book, and you'll find yourself in every chapter. In the end, you won't play any better, but you will enjoy yourself more on the course and you'll know a lot more about the game.

Review

"I've been trying to teach Robert for years to bring his art to his game. With this very, very funny book, it looks like he's had better success at bringing his game to his art - writing." -Keith Behrens, Teaching Professional

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Golfers Survival Guide - The humor of the game !, August 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golf Gods Are Laughing: The Confessions. Obsessions, and Insights of a Golf Addict (Paperback)
As a avid golfer, I rather play golf than read about it! However, since I received this book as a gift, and I had some free time I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The book is great, right from the start.

Robert Woodcox is a golf genius, if there is such a thing. His accounts of what he has gone through so far in his "golfing career" is hilarious. Every golfer will be able relate to what he writes. However, this may not be such a great thing. Not everything a golfer does or thinks is something to be proud of.

If you golf, know someone who golfs, or just want to laugh at human nature, then buy this book. It is one of the best books I've ever read. If he played half as well as he writes, he'd be a scratch golfer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've read!, July 28, 2000
This review is from: The Golf Gods Are Laughing: The Confessions. Obsessions, and Insights of a Golf Addict (Paperback)
This is my second review because I enjoyed the book so much I read it again! It's even better the second time. Incidentally, I've now sent it to 47 of my friends because I wanted them to get the same pleasure out of the book as I did. Many of them have told me "it's the funniest book I've ever read" and "I felt like he was writing about me." I've told them, don't tell me.... send in a review. I've been checking the reviews and only a few of them have taken the time to send in reviews but I'm taking the time to do a second one for all my friends who are too lazy to do their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a new golfer!, July 24, 2000
This review is from: The Golf Gods Are Laughing: The Confessions. Obsessions, and Insights of a Golf Addict (Paperback)
As a woman and a new golfer, I found this book refreshing and one that I could relate to. Not only was it funny and light, it was true. It allows you to learn and laugh at yourself and the game at the same time. It is nice to know that what I am feeling is not uncommon and that I will get over it one day. Thanks for putting it all in perspective for me!
