Product Description
1. A drop of sweat fell in my eye, and I missed the ball. 2. I stubbed my toe on the base of my bed, now I can't wear my golf shoes. 3. I've only played with these clubs twice. 4. My rain suit is too tight and I can't swing my club smoothly. 5. My ball is all scuffed up. 6. I keep picking up my head. I'm afraid the geese are going to do their business on me. 7. The tee was leaning too far forward. 8. I get nervous shooting last all the time. 9. The sun was in my eyes. 10. I thought we were using the green over there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shaved strokes off my game, October 25, 1999
By A Customer
This book mentions every single thing that you really shouldn't do with your golf game. Not just jokes in here, but real tips that you've heard from players and pros alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun if You're a Golfer or Not, March 10, 2000
By A Customer
I laughed my head off when I read this little book. I just couldn't put it down even though I had other things to do that "seemed" more important. Think of the possibilities: birthdays, Boss' Day, Father's Day. Makes a great gift for any golfer on your list, male or female.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wow, just wow
This book is awful. I can't believe Amazon allowed one reviewer to consistently rate it 5 stars over several months and blatantly promote it as such.

This book is a huge waste of money. It is so terribly simplistic I cannot even say it is funny at any time. Read more
