"Nothing Short of delightful..."
Ben Wright, golf Television commentator & author

"Here is writing that's subtle, thoroughly self-effacing and informative. ...a very thoughtful read."
-- Bradley Klein, GolfWeek

"Celebrates the spirit of real golf, found in old letters, at ancient links, on a roof overlooking the Old Course at St. Andrews during the Open Championship.... I laughed out loud, and found myself pining for a time when the world wasn't tuned into every incident all the time."
-- Bob Labbance, Author and President of the golf Collector’s Society

With sharp wit and humor, veteran golf Journalist and historian Jim Apfelbaum examines the game's oddities, rarities, heroes and duffers.  A hilarious yet insightful look at how the game has bamboozled players for over 400 years...perhaps now more than ever.

Among the author's swing thoughts:
The story behind Ben Hogan's secret "sixth lesson"... The 3" putt that Bobby Jones nearly fanned... How Tiger Woods removes the ball from the cup (with 8 action-photo sequence and special commentary so You can do it, too!)... The First Lady who was a golf widow on honeymoon at St Andrews... The contents of Ben Hogan's desk drawers  ...Sarazan hitting from a hot dog stand -- and saving par.

About the author:
Jim Apfelbaum, 48, is immediate past president of the Texas Golf Writers Association and the author of five books, including, with Barbara Puett, bestselling Golf Etiquette and A Woman's Own Golf Book.  Jim has also written for The Wall Street Journal and Golf.com.
