Grantland "Granny" Rice, perhaps the finest sportswriter of his era, penned this charming collection of essays, poems, and tips on the finer points of this potentially maddening hobby. Accompanying the text are Brigg's cartoons which depict the universal and sometimes silly experiences of every golfer. Series editor Herbert Warren Wind contends that "the man who does not laugh, out loud occasionally, at Brigg's cartoons cannot have laughter in his soul". Anyone who has attempted the game of golf will enjoy this comical classic, and just may learn a few things in the bargain.

This book is for the golfer who just enjoys getting out with friends once or twice a week for a round of golf and for the golfer whose skills may need improvement. Basically, this book is for every non-pro golfer who plays the game because, as we know, golf never ceases to frustrate. The author, Mike Pavlik, wrote If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book to deliver the message that it’s all right to be a duffer. In other words, it’s fine if you don’t burn up the course and you don’t play like Fred Couples or Jack Nicklaus. If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book encourages fellow golfers to be honest in evaluating their game, even if their skill levels are subpar. Building on his own experiences, Mike Pavlik highlights that although golf is a sport and a competition, a bad round should not mean a bad day, nor should it discourage us from enjoying a day with friends and exploring the great outdoors. If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book includes a description of experiences and definitions describing a duffer, plus a round-by-round depiction of a duffer (the author himself) and how he plays and approaches each hole. While this book won’t make you a better golfer, at least not in the sense of lower scores, it will help you enjoy each round a little more, even if you don’t break a hundred. A section of the book allows you to record the memorable shots and best efforts that you have already achieved. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team. In addition to books on popular team sports, we also publish books for a wide variety of athletes and sports enthusiasts, including books on running, cycling, horseback riding, swimming, tennis, martial arts, golf, camping, hiking, aviation, boating, and so much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Greetings new golfer! Welcome to the most frustrating, infuriating, intimidating yet greatest of sports. Beware that, in taking up golf, your self-esteem is about to suffer irreparable damage. You have, no doubt, remarked, in scanning the myriad of available golf books, that the authors, all blessed with olympian reflexes and hand-eye coordination, first took up the sport before the age of ten. Insightfully, you have probably also concluded that there may be a communication gap between these venerated masters of the game and your own tired, ripened and athletically-challenged physique. Happily, you have just found the holy grail of golf wisdom for beginners. This book is about taking up golf - from a beginner's perspective. Like yourself, the author is a mere mediocre mortal who took up the game in his mature middle years and whose only previous athletic renown was winning a hula hoop contest in a church basement. There are two things to learn about golf - how to hit a ball and understanding the game. The former is best learned, not from a book, but on a range from a teaching pro. You must also learn about the game's culture, customs and conventions, which is what this book is all about. Media Comments on Duffer’s Debut: • “This is the ... book that should be mandatory for all golfers to read before they are allowed on the course.” - Flagstick Golf Magazine • “The book is... humorous and is written from a beginner’s standpoint...middle aged and senior golfers would particularly appreciate it.” – Myrtle Beach Golf News • “...this golf book is a must-read...Great illustrations, a great gift, a great read...it might even turn you into a great golfer ” - Good Times Retirement Magazine • “Ronberg...should be commended for his effort.” - Lorne Rubenstein, The Toronto Globe and Mail • “If you’re thinking of taking up this sport, Ted Ronberg can save you some of the angst you experience.” – Lee-Anne Cusack, CJOH TV • “Not just for beginners, Duffer’s Debut also has a wealth of valuable information for experienced golfers.”- Bob Durant – host of the Golf Report – AM 740 Radio, Toronto • “This is the Holy Grail of golf wisdom for beginners” – Bob Sinclair - Eyelevel Golf Products

God Loves Golfers Best is the ultimate collection of golf jokes, quotes, and cartoons sure to tickle the funny bone of any avid duffer. A perfect gift or self-purchase for the golf fan in your life! Examples from God Loves Golfers Best: Golf is a lot like taxes. You drive hard to get to the green, and end up in the hole. What should you do if lightning strikes during your round? Walk around holding a 1-iron, because even God can't hit a 1-iron! A man is getting married and is standing by his bride at the church. Standing beside him are his golf clubs and bag. His bride whispers, "What are your golf clubs doing here?" The groom replies, "This isn't going to take all day, is it?" In primitive society, when native tribes beat the ground with clubs and yelled, it was called witchcraft; today, in civilized society, it is called golf.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... A B C OF GOLF i THE ONE ESSENTIAL THING IN golf, as in all other departments of human knowledge, it is necessary to distinguish clearly between the essential and the non-essential. Many books have been written upon the art of propelling that elusive little sphere of rubber and "gutty"; many pundits have essayed to expound the mystery; many despairing duffers have sought to purchase, with mere ducats, the easy grace, the well-nigh supernatural skill of the local "pro." The earlier golfing authors seemed to look upon it as a literary rather than an athletic exercise; the ingenious gentleman who has favored us from time to time with ponderous tomes bearing the great names of Braid, Verdon, et al, undoubtedly considers it an exceedingly abstruse science; to Mr. Arnold Haultain, delightful essayist, golf is merely a state of mind. Certainly in golf, wisdom does not reside in the multitude of counselors. Essentials and non-essentials; but to enumerate the latter would be a hopeless task. Time and time again the would-be golfer has stumbled upon (or purchased) what he fondly imagines to be the prime, great secret. And for a little while it does work; then come a few bad shots, loss of confidence follows, and the "cure-all" is sent to join its predecessors in the discard. In golf, as in medicine, quacks and nostrums nourish monstrously well, and there is never any end to the procession of willing victims; the canny professional may fool the duffer all the time if he chooses to do so. Let us begin then by putting aside all speculation and worry over such unimportant DEGREES-details as grip, stance, the snap of the wrists, timing of the stroke, and a score of similar shibboleths. I don't intend to say that these things mean nothing at all, but they...
