This light-hearted book pokes fun at male chauvinist golfers (pigs on the links) and provides helpful hints for how to deal with these "hidden hazards." The book is affirmative and upbeat with a special section devoted to the finest of the fairways, The Gentleman Golfer. Educational for women and men alike.

Review
"A little levity can go a long way on the golf course. It can also keep male chauvinists from taking the fun out of the game-at least that's the premise of a new book that addresses the problem of sexual discrimination on the golf course." -- Golf Week, October 14, 1994.
"An entertaining book ...offering plenty of practical and worthwhile advice." -- The Chesapeake Golfer, Dec 94-Jan 95.
"charming, humorous, and balanced account of life on the golf course for the 1990's woman golfer." -- The Californian, November 29, 1994;

About the Author
Alice M. O'Leary was born in Massachusetts and raised in Florida. Her father, an avid golfer, tried to teach her the game when she was a teenager. But she gave up both golf and Florida, moving to Washington, D.C. as a young adult and remaining there for more than twenty years. Now an avid golfer with a fourteen handicap, she has moved back to Florida, thus proving the old adage, "The older you get the smarter your father becomes."

Nice, little humorous book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pigs on the Links: Hidden Hazards for the Woman Golfer (Paperback)
****This book is short, light, and funny---a humor book, basically. It pokes fun at male chauvinists on the golf course. It is about the length of an essay, can be read in about thirty minutes or so, and is amusing. It offers some advice on how to deal with difficult situations on the golf course, which is really mostly the author's perspective; some of her techniques I would use, and some are more abrasive. It is a little dated (1994) and women are now a bit more accepted on the golf course; howevever, many attitudes still have not changed, of course. Overall, it would be a worthwhile purchase, as long as you understand that it is not really a full length book. ****
