• Biggest Alligator Flipped Over by a Golfer (see page 25)
• Most Shots Over Par on a Hole After Heeding the Call of Nature in a Major Tournament (see page 36)

Eye-popping aces, out-of-control pros, and outrageous Opens are the name of the game in this hilarious and all-too-true collection of golf's funniest moments. These true tall tales feature touring pros Lee Trevino, Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman, Sam Snead, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus, Craig Stadler, and Gary Player as well as celebrity golfers Fred Astaire and Bobby Knight, among others. In the unpredictable world of nutty golf records, golf balls wind up in some extremely hard-to-hit places--up trees, in pockets, or in the beaks of hungry ravens-while putters and drivers are strangled, hurled for distance, or dragged behind cars by their revenge-seeking owners. Topless dancers, de-pantsed pros, streaking fans, and caddying llamas find their way onto some of America's most famous courses. Witty, wild, and wacky, The Golf Nut's Book of Amazing Feats and Records is your guide to the fairway phenomena that never find their way into standard golf record books. Bruce Nash and Allan Zullo are the authors of the Sports Hall of Shame book series and the nationally syndicated "Sports Hall of "Shame" comic feature. George White is golf editor of the Orlando Sentinel and contributes to many golf magazines.
