This book is downright hilarious. It just about covers every mistake and error you can possibly make to give yourself the highest possible score for your round as possible. Foxworthy, is in his usual, sarcastic best in this book. It will remind you of why he was funny in the first place.

However, the book is terribly short. Much of the book is pictures and the writing rarely takes up 3/4 of the page. My advice would be to read it at a bookstore or wait until a paperback version comes out because 16 dollars for a book you can read in 20 minutes is a bit much. Even when you add in the, "show it to your buddy" factor.

Do not buy this book unless you are stuck for ideas for a bad gift for a golfer. Like, if your Uncle Larry plays golf, but you don't know him very well and you just want to give him something, then you can give him this book. He won't really appreciate it, but it's a semi-thoughtful gesture. If you are a golfer and think you might want to buy this book: Go to an actual bookstore, find this book, read it standing in the aisle (this will take you about 10 minutes if you are a slow reader) and then put it back. You might laugh once. Probably not, but at least you won't have spent any actual money on it.

For all spouses of golf enthusiasts, this would be the perfect little book to put into a Christmas stocking.

It's about half cute cartoons and half snappy paragraphs on how to do badly at golf. For example: "If you have a problem with alcohol, now is not the time to try to control it. Slowed reflexes and distorted judgment can only work to your benefit if you want to stink at golf" p 35).

It may not be his best book, but it's cute.

This was a real disappointment. I had forgotten why I didn't any of his other books after browsing them up in a book store.

Jeff Foxworthy should stick to what he does so well - live, tv, cd or any form of comedy where is personal delivery style can over-shadow weak material like this.

The only reason I'm keeping it is to add some color to my bookshelf.

Rather disappointing effort by one of the funnest men alive today...Almost like he was trying too hard to be funny...this book lacks the natural easiness and flair of his best work.

Several laugh-out-loud lines, but not enough. Recommended, but don't get your hopes to high.

The book clearly points out that if you follow its suggestions you'll stink at golf. By using the suggestions as indicative of your faults your game should improve. It helped my son!

bought this after hearing a few excerpts -- now I wish I had not -- the excerpts were the best part -- definitely no up to his usual level of humor -- a very slim volume and not really as funny ad it could have been

I bought this book because of Jeff Foxworthy's reputation as a very funny man; however, this book stinks. It is not funny. Please don't waste your money purchasing this book. I expected better from Mr. Foxworthy.

I bought this for my golfer husband for Father's Day. He shared it with an adult son who is also a golfer. I heard a lot of chuckles. They really seemed to enjoy it.

I bought this as a gift and I am happy with it.

I recommend it.
