enjoyed this AGAIN! since i'm of a certain age i can remember hearing plimpton's voice and his very dry sense of humor whan he'd be a guest on a show like mike douglas or merve griffin so as i read it was plimpton's voice rattling around in my head. completely hilarious look at what it's like to golf with some fun behind the scenes scoop on "old-timey" tournaments like the ones that bing crosby and bob hope were running back in the day.

This book is short but it was hard for me to get through. Let me preface by saying I grew up playing competitive golf; I played in college. I know the history of the game and I’ve read a lot of golf books. I admit I earmarked some pages because there were some good one-liners and thoughtful comments in there. But it was surrounded by a string of stories that didn’t really feel cohesive other than the fact that they were (mostly) in chronological order. There didn’t seem to be a point to the book.
