Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf is a disease, not a game. Especially when you take the game up in your fifties, as I did. After a series of injuries stopped my recreational tennis play, and my retirement from a lifetime of coaching and teaching tennis, I tried golf. It didn't take long to realize it was not an easy endeavor. Someone said, "You can't learn anything from a golf book, but you have to read a lot of golf books to find that out!" I found the gurus of golf instruction: Ledbetter, Pelz, and Hogan, who was said to have written the book with the secret! I did find one that really attracted me but in a somewhat different way.

Download or read book Confessions of a Golf Slut written by Susan Fornoff and published by Gottagogolf. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 35-year-old career bachelorette decided her dating style needed an overhaul, so she took up golf to meet men on manicured greens instead of in smoky bars. Of course she met men. But she also made friends. And found a new vocation that took her to the most beautiful resorts and most famous courses in the world. None of it had anything to do with being good at the game. "Golf slut," was what she called herself -- based on the description comedian Tommy Smothers used lovingly in describing his wife: "will play anywhere, anytime, with anyone." But as moment after moment unfolded with gifts, lessons and surprises, she came to realize her relationship with the game transcended labels. In her memoir "Confessions of a Golf Slut: A memoir of life, love, and The Game," trailblazing sports journalist Susan Fornoff tells the story of how golf became her warm blanket through the heartbreaking loss of divorce and death, her compass for a hilarious journey through online dating, her guiding light in the murky tunnel of midlife career change. "Confessions of a Golf Slut" is you'll-laugh-you'll-cry chick lit -- spun with driver, hybrid, wedge and putter. A poignant and often funny golf sister to the likes of "Julie and Julia" and "Eat, Pray, Love," "Confessions of a Golf Slut" relates the metaphors of the beloved, centuries-old game in context with human foibles and frailties. Within the narrative framework of the search for love, it addresses universal themes such as self-examination, perseverance, friendship and, ultimately, forgiveness. Chick lit, yes - and, for men, a peek into the other team's playbook. It's not a spoiler to reveal that the author never masters the game of golf. But her passion for the game will no doubt resonate among the women who already play -- an estimated 5 million in the United States alone, with another 38 million women reported to have interest -- and inspire those who don't yet play to pick up a 7-iron and give it a big kiss.

Download or read book So Help Me Golf written by Rick Reilly and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved New York Times bestselling author and golf aficionado shares his insatiable curiosity, trademark sense of humor, and vast knowledge of the game in this cavalcade of original pieces about why we love the sport, now featuring three additional new pieces. This is the book Rick Reilly has been writing in the back of his head since he fell in love with the game of golf at eleven years old. He unpacks and explores all of the wonderful, maddening, heart-melting, heart-breaking, cool, and captivating things about golf that make the game so utterly addictive. We meet the PGA Tour player who robbed banks by night to pay his motel bills, the golf club maker who takes weekly psychedelic trips, and the caddy who kept his loop even after an 11-year prison stint. We learn how a man on his third heart nearly won the U.S. Open, how a Vietnam POW saved his life playing 18 holes a day in his tiny cell, and about the course that's absolutely free. Reilly mines all of the game’s quirky traditions—from the shot of bourbon you take before you tee off at Peyton Manning’s course, to the way the starter at St. Andrews announces to your group (and the hundreds of tourists watching), “You’re on the first tee, gentlemen.” He means that quite literally: St. Andrews has the first tee ever invented. We’ll visit the eighteen most unforgettable holes around the world (Reilly has played them all), including the hole in Indonesia where the biggest hazard is monkeys, the one in the Caribbean that's underwater, and the one in South Africa that requires a shot over a pit of alligators; not to mention Reilly’s attempt to play the most mini-golf holes in one day. Reilly expounds on all the great figures in the game, from Phil Mickelson to Bobby Jones to the simple reason Jack Nicklaus is better than Tiger Woods. He explains why we should stop hating Bryson DeChambeau unless we hate genius, the greatest upset in women’s golf history, and why Ernie Els throws away every ball that makes a birdie. Plus all the Greg Norman stories Reilly has never been able to tell before, and the great fun of being Jim Nantz. Connecting it all will be the story of Reilly’s own personal journey through the game, especially as it connects to his tumultuous relationship with his father, and how the two eventually reconciled through golf. This is Reilly’s valentine to golf, a cornucopia of stories that no golfer will want to be without. **The Sports Librarian’s Best of 2022 – Sports Books**

Very few words are spoken. A simple “hi” at the beginning of the service, and a courteous, “Have a nice week” when it ended. Until she misses a week. When she returns the next Sunday, he leans over and says, “I missed you.” She smiles back, and politely answers, “thank you.” The next week, however, he is not there. She is puzzled because he is always there, and never late. When the service is over and she is about to leave the church, she sees him standing at the back looking quite distressed. She is startled to see him there. At this moment in time, their lives would change forever.

Book excerpt: The beloved author of Ms. Bixby’s Last Day and Posted returns with a humorous and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and miniature golf. For as long as he can remember, Malcolm has never felt like he was good enough. Not for his parents, who have always seemed at odds with each other, with Malcolm caught in between. And especially not for his dad, whose competitive drive and love for sports Malcolm has never shared. That is, until Malcolm discovers miniature golf, the one sport he actually enjoys. Maybe it’s the way in which every hole is a puzzle to be solved. Or the whimsy of the windmills and waterfalls that decorate the course. Or maybe it’s the slushies at the snack bar. But whatever the reason, something about mini golf just clicks for Malcolm. And best of all, it’s a sport his dad can’t possibly obsess over. Or so Malcolm thinks. Soon he is signed up for lessons and entered in tournaments. And yet, even as he becomes a better golfer and finds unexpected friends at the local course, be wonders if he might not always be a disappointment. But as the final match of the year draws closer, the tension between Malcolm’s parents reaches a breaking point, and it’s up to him to put the puzzle of his family back together again.
