the glossary is worth the price of the book. absolutely pure golf slang.

"Golf Nuts" is a book about people who share a common passion. Head Nut #0001 - Ronald Garland goes into grave detail about how he established the "Golf Nuts Society" and some of the unique characters that belong to this growing organization. This is a great book if you know someone who is obssessed with the game of golf. Its very easy to read. The sample test in the back of the book to see if you should be committed is hysterical, the glossary and world records will leave the reader in stitches because only those searching for the "secret" will understand. I loved the book so much that I joined the "Golf Nuts Society" -- #3177.

Great book. Very funny. These guys love the game and are good at it. Very entertaining read. Can't wait to give it as a stocking stuffer this year.

This is much ado about nutting, and it is fun, relevant readers to golfers. We can relate maybe not so much to all of the eccentricies, but boy can we relate to the golf fever illustrated.

From the search for the secret, to aids, to collecting, to playing in all conditions at all times, et al, this is certainly an entertaining collection, and one to add to one's book addiction, I mean collection.

The Head Nut certainly is deserving, and the array of famous and not-so is highlighted for me by several nut incidents which make my "nut all of fame" -- E.M. Vanderweghe who literally had his magic grip frozen to the club in the auto drive from the range to the course (talk about losing it from the range to the first tee) and the guy who mistakenly locks his rental car keys in his bag in the trunk with only ten minutes before tourney teeoff, then prying open a path to his clubs, removing them one-by-one in a bloody mess. You'd wouldn't believe in any of this if you haven't already gotten the bug.

Nuts to all of you! This is good stuff!

This is an excellent book. Very enjoyable. I am so glad this book came out in time to give as Christmas presents. Ron Garland and Brian Hewitt are terrific!! I recommend this book to anyone who loves golf!
