Review:
"Caused me to laugh out loud" * The Times * "Cox may not have much to boast about in the field of sporting achievement, but he has what many of his rivals palpably lack: an inner landscape, an imagination. These are terrible handicaps for a golfer, but pretty darn useful in a writer... A very, very good book" * Daily Telegraph * "I'm not a golf fan myself, but Cox is such an enthusiastic writer that he's made me see the sport in a new light" * Mail on Sunday * "Tom Cox writes brilliantly about golf. He knows the game inside-out: its potent allure, its absurd comedy and its mind-bending frustrations. If they had a handicap-system for golf-writers Tom Cox would be scratch" -- William Boyd "One of the funniest books on golf ever written" * Metro *
