One of the first entries that you will read in the book THE BEST ADVICE EVER FOR GOLFERS is a quote about golf penned in 1908 by Arnold Haultain. Haultain observes, simply, that to be obsessed with golf "is not so much a sign of pitiable insanity as of wilful stupidity." We'll here's to the "wilfully" stupid and to anyone else to wants a collection of observations, anecdotes, quotes, quips and stories about this sport of sports. THE BEST ADVICE EVER FOR GOLFERS by Robert McCord is a must for you and for your library.
It's all here. Chapters include "Golf the Obsession...", "Down the Fairway...", "Grace Under Pressure..." and subjects that cover just about every aspect of the game. Contributors include some of the greatest names in the history of the game from Hagen to Hogan, from Palmer to Player, from Watson to Woods and from Nicklaus to Nelson and everyone in between.
More than a "How To..." book, THE BEST ADVICE EVER FOR GOLFERS is idle chat about the game by the greats as if you were with them at the 19th hole. It's also a great "almanac" of golf for everyone from seasoned golfers to those thinking about taking the golf plunge. If you are among the latter, be very careful when reading this book. You may find yourself, before you know it, among the ranks of the "wilfully" stupid as Mr. Haultain so eloquently put it.
Hit 'Em Long and Straight — wilfully and stupidly!
