The Grumpy Golfer's Handbook by Ivor Grump Pdf

Following in the curmudgeonly footsteps of One Grump or Two and The Grumpy Driver’s Handbook, Grumpy Golfer is a compilation of all things miserable about playing golf. Mark Twain famously said, “golf is a good walk spoiled,” but actually it’s a lot worse than that. Golf can be a good life spoiled after you become enraged with the behaviour of a Stableford competitor and bury a sand wedge in a place where it’s impossible to get relief. All the evils of golf are included: the slice, the hook, the snap-hook, the shank, the first tee duff and the yips. There are also sections on annoying hazards, such as lakes, streams, trees, deep bunkers, greenkeepers, dog walkers and bringing along the girlfriend. There are the usual tirades against a variety of golf-themed items: clubhouses, two-tier driving ranges, golf gloves, ladies tees, pitch and putt, the 1-iron, geriatric fourballs, golf magazines, scorecard pencils, Peter Allis, links courses, bizarre putters, metal drivers and winter rules. All in all, a great book for grumps.

The Grumpy Gardener's Handbook by Ivor Grump Pdf

Following in the curmudgeonly footsteps of The Grumpy Driver’s and Golfer's Handbooks, this is a compilation of all things frustrating about maintaining the average domestic garden. Grump’s attempts to improve his “extra room outdoors” are thwarted at every turn. His lawn develops alopecia, his fruit trees are shunned by all pollinating insects, his veg is a big hit with slugs and his Indian sandstone patio becomes an ingenious sunken garden. Chapters include Pruning, Weeding, Compost (Ivor is convinced that cryogenics fan Walt Disney could be happily accommodated in his non-decomposing compost bins), Sheds, Pond Life, "Oh, I Simply Adore Lobelia"; (people who talk too loudly in show gardens), TV Gardening, Pests and Living With Leaf Lady, a woman hell-bent on identifying every foreign leaf that is swept into their garden - and returning it... There is a Grumpy Calendar of seasonal jobs in the garden and how best to avoid them, plus advice on how to impress people with a Slacker's Veg Patch (vegetables that look after themselves more or less).

Following in the curmudgeonly footsteps of One Grump or Two, The Grumpy Driver’s Handbook is a celebration of all that is miserable and tedious on the road. Driving brings out the worst in even the most mild mannered individual and so a book on the worst habits in motoring and the ‘joys’ of car ownership is the natural gift for the career grump. Spurred on by endless roadworks, coned-off lanes, BMW drivers, white van men, speed cameras, lunatic cyclists, rude taxi drivers and kamikazi motorcyclists, the grump has an ocean of opportunity for expression. The Grumpy Driver’s Handbook (including The Highway Grump) tackles the evils of lane swappers, caravan owners, bumper huggers, rubber neckers, light jumpers, hard shoulder cruisers, sleeping policemen and speaking policemen.

The Golfer's Excuse Handbook by Kurt Taylor Pdf

Do you have a friend or family member who loves golf? Better yet, do you know the frustration and hilarity that comes with trying to play this beautiful sport? Everyone who has experienced the game of golf understands that it can be frustrating, unfair, and embarrassing to play. Sometimes, if you are the sad individual who hit a poor shot, you might be tempted to provide an excuse to your playing partners. A good excuse can relieve the tension, and maybe even bring a few laughs. Sometimes, though, an excuse can be hilarious just by its lack of credulity. A golfer can chalk their bad shot up to anything, absolutely anything, and that's when the excuse becomes a funny moment. Golfers share these stories with their friends, and it's not the shot they remember, only the hilarious excuse. The Golfer's Excuse Handbook contains 250 excuses on a range of subjects all over the golf course, and a few that extend beyond the links! - Five different chapters, one for each group of excuses and the topics likely to draw a golfer's ire. - Each chapter features interesting golf history and trivia, as well! - There are also entertaining golf quotes from players, world leaders, and other well-known individuals within these pages. - Chapter subjects include the golf course itself, a golfer's playing partners, and the weather! This book will entertain any fan of the game, from those who watch the pros to anyone who dares to swing a club. Perhaps this book can start a conversation with friends and family members about who has the worst excuses on the course, or who has said the most outrageous line in a moment of shame. Maybe there's a golfer in your life that needs help with their excuse game! This book can also serve any golfer with a ton of ideas on how to deflect the embarrassment of that bad shot. And, if you have someone in your life who is particularly unskilled, they may need multiple excuses to make it through a round! This book is bound to bring a smile to anyone who has experienced the struggle of golf. It will make readers smile, laugh out loud, and most importantly, appreciate the joy and pain that is the game of golf. Grab a copy of The Golfer's Excuse Handbook and tee up the fun today!
