Thirty-eight essays in golf-the video game that nobody has ever covered just how Dan Jenkins addresses it. Half from the essays are completely new, the others are reworked and rewritten, based on pieces which were originally published in Golf Digest. Often biting, usually cranky, always hilarious and surprising, that is Dan Jenkins at his best, writing about the activity he loves probably the most.

Dan Jenkins is one of America’s most acclaimed sportswriters and a bestselling novelist. In 2012 he was inducted into the World Golfing Hall of Fame-one of only three writers to become honored thus far-and was presented with the Pen Life time Achievement Award for Literary Sports Writing. He’s also the 2013 champion of the Red Smith Award, the highest honor in his job.
