Every Golfers Survival Guide - The humor of the game !

As a avid golfer, I rather play golf than read about it! However, since I received this book as a gift, and I had some free time I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The book is great, right from the start. Robert Woodcox is a golf genius, if there is such a thing. His accounts of what he has gone through so far in his "golfing career" is hilarious. Every golfer will be able relate to what he writes. However, this may not be such a great thing. Not everything a golfer does or thinks is something to be proud of.If you golf, know someone who golfs, or just want to laugh at human nature, then buy this book. It is one of the best books I've ever read. If he played half as well as he writes, he'd be a scratch golfer.

The best I've read!

This is my second review because I enjoyed the book so much I read it again! It's even better the second time. Incidentally, I've now sent it to 47 of my friends because I wanted them to get the same pleasure out of the book as I did. Many of them have told me "it's the funniest book I've ever read" and "I felt like he was writing about me." I've told them, don't tell me.... send in a review. I've been checking the reviews and only a few of them have taken the time to send in reviews but I'm taking the time to do a second one for all my friends who are too lazy to do their own.

Great for a new golfer!

As a woman and a new golfer, I found this book refreshing and one that I could relate to. Not only was it funny and light, it was true. It allows you to learn and laugh at yourself and the game at the same time. It is nice to know that what I am feeling is not uncommon and that I will get over it one day. Thanks for putting it all in perspective for me!

Most enjoyable book on the experience of golf ever!

Robert has done a great service for golfers at every level. His book is entertaining, educational, funny, hilarious, offers helpful hints, all in one. I don't believe he has left out any aspect about the challenges of the golf game. You can pick it up at any point in the book and have a hard time putting it down. Definite thumbs up Robert.

Excellent light reading

Great for reading at bedtime or when you can't fall asleep and are caught between a junk novel or high tech book. Also good for longer airplane flights- good humor and gives you the great feeling everyone else is having the same crazy things happen to them on the golf course. I finally read and finished reading 1 book instead of starting 10!!!!
