Summary
‘Possibly the funniest book about golf ever written’ - Guardian
As a teenager, Cox dreamed of sporting immortality. For four years he devoted himself to the game of golf. And then, one day, he walked away. But as he got older, those dreams kept coming back.

Critics Review
Caused me to laugh out loud
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 BoydOne of the funniest books on golf ever written * Metro *Razor-sharp insight and buckets of humour - I can’t recommend this book highly enough – Mark JamesA gorgeously comical book * Week *
