A beautifully illustrated, humorous glossary of curious golfing terms and hilarious slang as used by millions of professionals and amateurs around the world, an essential handbook for all players and followers of sport's most frustrating game, packed with wicked, witty, waspish and weird wordage from the world's fairways and clubhouses. The older the sport, the richer the language and culture. Few sports can claim a heritage as ancient as golf, and few are richer in error-strewn comedy, spiteful asides and cruel jibes. My friend in the bunker, my enemy on the green... Adolf Hitler, Airmail, Amen Corner, Army Golf ... Bandit, Brassie, Brazilian, Breakfast Ball ... Ferret, Flub, Flusher, Fried Egg ... Rabbit, Rickshaw, Ryanair, Rushdie ... Waggle, Whiff, Wise (Dennis), Wormburner... this exquisitely designed book contains over 400 curious and laugh-out-loud words and phrases from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. From St. Andrews to Augusta, Royal St. George's to The Royal Melbourne, Sunningdale to Sun City, Pebble Beach to Pine Valley... golfers share the same funny language, united in humour and exasperation by the same challenges, hazards, obstacles and duff errors. This densely packed volume of hilarious terms is essential reading for every golf enthusiast and clubhouse bore ever to have found themselves on a Claggy Lie on a Goat Track, pulled out the Hand Wedge deep in the Cabbage or smashed a Ferret out of the Kitty Litter, the perfect gift from golf widows and widowers around the globe. Sample Entries: Captain Kirk - Wild shot, going where no shot has gone before Cuban - Ball just short of the hole that needed another revolution to get in. See Corbyn, Jeremy Laurel & Hardy - Fat shot followed by a thin one, or vice-versa Mouth Wedge - A gobby golfer who talks too much and bugs hell out of his playing partners Salman Rushdie - A difficult read Son-in-law - Of a shot that you weren't really hoping for, but it will just about do.
