5.0 out of 5 stars Better than "How To Line Up Your 4th Putt" April 16, 2005
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Charlie Lindsay is an irreverant guy with an unfailing eye. He sees what others don't and makes you grin for the joy of discovery he has had with his camera out in nature searching for the bizarre and wonderful on and around the golf course.

Be it a golf ball tucked neatly under a "meadow muffin" or a pair of golf shoes hanging from a tombstone, be prepared for a visual feast where golf and golf courses are the metaphor.

What a treat. What a great gift!! I've sent a dozen already and it's early in the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost Balls- a great photgraphic journey May 2, 2005
Format:Hardcover
Charles Lindsay has captured the true soul of golf with this photographic journey through some of the most interesting places in the world. This book is perfect for the person who truely loves and understands the game of golf. His combination of humor and photographic genius make this a wonderfully entaining book for anyone who has ever played the game. I hope there is a sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost Balls and Other Bad Lies October 1, 2005
Format:Hardcover
WONDERFUL book for golfers... or as a gift to golfers. Photos are crisp and lovely, lies are unimaginable and even inconceivable! Makes those of us who do NOT play golf wonder why others do, and should make golfers offer prayers of thanks that they have never, never had shots to play like these...

Wonderfully fast shipment of pristine condition books!
