2.0 out of 5 stars Not very useful, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

A cute novelty item, but not really useful. Johnston's book "The Complete Book of Golf Games" is much better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hustler's Blues, October 1, 2001

By	Bob Kumpfer (Valparaiso, IN USA) - See all my reviews

I was hoping to get more information than this book provides. I have found all the same information on the internet, if not more, than is contained in these pages. In fact, most of the book highlights the history of betting and some of golf's more renown gamblers. the actual betting games section of the book is pretty small.

The best part of the book is that it comes with "Don't Choke" ball markers that are great to mark an opponents ball with.

As a stocking stuffer the book is fine, as an end all and be all to golf side betting, it doesn't cut it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hustled Again, August 3, 1998

By	billyburger (Williamsburg, VA) - See all my reviews

Being a golf newby, I wanted a book about golf games betting. I learned from a patient friend what a Nassau Bet is, and he kindly told me about the customary side bets such as greenies, sandies, & birdies. When this book arrived, I was surprised to find that nowhere is there mention of these classic side bets, as far as I could tell, so I'm wondering what else is missing.

I found the preliminaries to be tongue-in-cheek funny -- the gambits for getting an "edge". But I've had to order another book from Amazon to see what was left out of this one. I believe I've found what I was looking for in "The Complete Book of Golf Games, by Scott Johnston.
