"Safe in the locker room on the nineteenth Green the Oldest Member plays the game as he has seen it and tells the stories of the stormed-tossed lives of other and younger members of the club whom he has watched while they dug grim divots out of the shrinking turf. He has laid bare the comedy of bunkers and traps--the voiceless tragedy of water hazards and thickets and out of bounds, as well as slices in the rough. From his sheltered position in the clubhouse at Squashy Valley he expounds the primary rules of professional instructors and Greens' Committees: Keep your eye on the Ball! Replace the divots! and, above all, gives splendid examples of what constitutes perfect golfing courtesy."--Dust jacket.

Divots, Shanks, Gimmes, Mulligans and Chili Dips
Author: Glen Waggoner
Publisher: Avon Books
ISBN: 9780380729692
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
For all golfers, there is a dividing line that separates life into two disparate worlds: the world that can only be dreamed about, that of the one-putting, three-hundred-yard-driving, sub-par-shooting professional; and the world of golfing reality, that of the club-throwing, four-putting, double-bogeying hacker. Is there a man brave enough to straddle both worlds? Someone willing to spend time with Jack Nicklaus and play a course in northern England, where you have to hit a perfect drive in one hole or wind up in a corral hitting next to a bull? Someone who's willing to analyze the top players in the game and confess to tossing a whole set of clubs right smack-dab into the middle of a water hazard? Luckily for all golfing fans, there is such a man, Glen Waggoner, whose devotion to - and terror of - the game of golf is wonderfully detailed in Divots, Shanks, Gimmes, Mulligans, and Chili Dips. The first half of the book - the Front Nine - is all about Waggoner's life on the pro tour as a reporter and observer. He learnedly discusses the practice habits of the top pros; meets his idol, Arnold Palmer; discusses the unbelievably lucrative business of modern-day golf; gives us insight into the mind-set of top pros like Fred Couples and Mark Calcavecchia; predicts who will be the next Palmer/Nicklaus/Watson-type dominant golfer. The Back Nine is the personal life of a hacker. Here, Waggoner talks about the fine art of club-throwing. He discloses terrifying secrets of sand traps that even Lawrence of Arabia couldn't get out of. He goes to golf school, taking lessons from the world's greatest golf teacher. He plays St. Andrews - and the caddy is still snickering. Most of all, Glen Waggoner is atypical golfer - which means he loves the game more than he loves breathing. That love comes through with such humor, such affection, and such quirky insight that Divots, Shanks, Gimmes, Mulligans, and Chili Dips is bound to become a golf classic.
