Download or read book Unwritten Rules of Golf written by Peter Post and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn all the do's and don'ts of golf! Golf is the only sport where how you treat the other people in the game is as important as the actual game itself. The rules for playing golf are clearly defined, but how golfers expect other golfers to comport themselves before, during, and after a round is less codified. Yet, acting in ways that frustrate your fellow golfers is the fastest way to find yourself without partners. Now, New York Times bestselling author, etiquette authority, and enthusiastic golfer Peter Post explains what golfers need to know to confidently handle every situation that doesn't have to do with hitting a shot. Peter addresses the top do's and don'ts including: How to deal with the biggest frustration in golf—slow play. When to speak and when to keep quiet. When is a "gimme" acceptable? Where to stand when a fellow golfer is making a shot. Dealing with sandbaggers and other cheats. Do's and don'ts when playing for "a little something." Peter Post's useful tips on the subtleties of the game—such as how and when to offer advice, strategies for speeding up play, and "piniquette"—will help players new to the game as well as longtime golfers be better companions on and off the course. Packed with true stories from golfers about their best moments and worst behavioral blunders on the course, this book is for anyone who appreciates the spirit of the game.
Download or read book Sam Learns Golf A Children s Book of Basic Golf Rules Terms and Etiquette written by Jason Beisel and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam lives on a golf course and has a best friend, Max, who is a golf ball. When Dad asks Sam to play in the big tournament with him, he explains that there is more to golf than just hitting a golf ball high and far. With the help of Max and some new friends, golf rules, terms, and etiquette are revealed so that Sam will be ready for the big day. By the end of the book, Sam realizes that there are still things to learn, but now understands what Dad was talking about. Sam Learns Golf was written as a book that could be either read to toddlers or read by young children - (it's also a great tool for those parents or grandparents who want to plant the golfing seed into a future golfer's little mind). By playing a hole that is right behind the house, Sam's new friends are able to explain some of the important, but sometimes not so utilized, rules and etiquette. They touch upon the major points of golf: the parts of the golf hole, scoring, upkeep of the golf course, and more. After finishing the first real hole of golf, Sam realizes that there is a lot more to the game than just "gripping it and ripping it." Among other things, Sam learns about consideration of other golfers and the fact that every shot isn't going to be perfect. The friends walk Sam through the basic rules and principles of the game and also introduce a mental approach that will make the game more enjoyable.

Download or read book Commander in Cheat written by Rick Reilly and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Reilly pokes more holes in Trump's claims than there are sand traps on all of his courses combined. It is by turns amusing and alarming."-- The New Yorker "Golf is the spine of this shocking, wildly humorous book, but humanity is its flesh and spirit." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Every one of Trump's most disgusting qualities surfaces in golf." -- The Ringer An outrageous indictment of Donald Trump's appalling behavior when it comes to golf -- on and off the green -- and what it reveals about his character. Donald Trump loves golf. He loves to play it, buy it, build it, and operate it. He owns 14 courses around the world and runs another five, all of which he insists are the best on the planet. He also claims he's a 3 handicap, almost never loses, and has won an astonishing 18 club championships. How much of all that is true? Almost none of it, acclaimed sportswriter Rick Reilly reveals in this unsparing look at Trump in the world of golf. Based on Reilly's own experiences with Trump as well as interviews with over 100 golf pros, amateurs, developers, and caddies, Commander in Cheat is a startling and at times hilarious indictment of Trump and his golf game. You'll learn how Trump cheats (sometimes with the help of his caddies and Secret Service agents), lies about his scores (the "Trump Bump"), tells whoppers about the rank of his courses and their worth (declaring that every one of them is worth $50 million), and tramples the etiquette of the game (driving on greens doesn't help). Trump doesn't brag so much, though, about the golf contractors he stiffs, the course neighbors he intimidates, or the way his golf decisions wind up infecting his political ones. For Trump, it's always about winning. To do it, he uses the tricks he picked up from the hustlers at the public course where he learned the game as a college kid, and then polished as one of the most bombastic businessmen of our time. As Reilly writes, "Golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a man." Commander in Cheat "paints a side-splitting portrait of a congenital cheater" (Esquire), revealing all kinds of unsightly truths Trump has been hiding.
