Review of Slices: Observations from the Wrong Side of the Fairway (Paperback)

I love golf as much as I hate it, and I.J. Schecter understands how I and most other golfers feel. The great thing about this book is that he writes it for the majority of golfers instead of the few at the top. It's about the challenges we all face when trying to feather a chip, or hit a downhill putt, or just keep our damn drives straight some of the time. And he describes this stuff in extremely funny ways that are so original. You feel like you're on the course with him as you read the different stories -- half the time laughing out loud. I don't know if I was laughing at his experiences or because they make me think of my own, but the point is I was laughing, and smiling, and enjoying myself. What a great book to have. It reminds you that most golfers are in the same boat together, and it gives you lots of great laughs at the same time.

Review of I Golf, Therefore I Am--Nuts! (Paperback)

This book was a happy surprise as I am not a golfer. I bought the book as a gift for a golfer friend. As I was thumbing through it, I started to read the stories and ended up reading the whole book. The fun and easy to read stories are belly laugh funny and really can relate to many things in life, not just golf. Maybe I'll even be inspired to take up golfing - maybe.


Product Description
Finally, a book that delves into the warped and obsessive mind of today's golfer. Whether your idea of golf is an occasional round with fellow duffers at the local muni or frequent forays to far-flung courses in search of the perfect round, you'll identify with this book like no other.

Popular golf humorist George Fuller will have you laughing as he makes light of the idiosyncrasies of otherwise sane people who are addicted to this holy, wholly frustrating game.

I Golf, Therefore I Am--Nuts! brings out the humor in situations that all golfers can relate to:

  • Looking for Mulligan, the patron saint of forgiveness
  • The hype architects and developers use when describing a new course
  • Quirks, quips, and superstitions from the PGA Tour
If your eyes light up every time you read about a new driver, your TiVo has golf programming that originally aired in 2004, you receive holiday cards from greenskeepers, or your golf wardrobe doubles as business casual, then I Golf, Therefore I Am--Nuts! is for you.
