Disclosure: I received this book through a Firstreads giveaway in the expectation that I would review it.
To make where I'm coming from clearer, I'm not a sports fan, and in specific not a golf fan. I've played just enough golf to know the game doesn't appeal to me as a player, and I don't believe I have ever watched an entire match on TV. However, I'm a big fan of "strange sports stories" which blend a real-life sport with fantastic elements.

Weird Golf: 18 Tales of Fantastic, Horrific, Scientifically Impossible, and Morally Reprehensible Golf is a funny book for a somewhat limited audience. I expected the book to be non-fiction (due to a lack of detail in the Goodreads summary). Sort of a strange-but-true for golf. It is mostly a mixture of fiction short stories, many with a science-fiction bent. I should say upfront that I am not a golfer. I don’t play at all.

I won Weird Golf through a Library Thing giveaway.
18 wonderful and original golf-related stories. I think my favorite was the one with the superheroes. I was laughing out loud and drawing some very strange looks from the people around me.
This book would make a great gift to the golf-lovers in your life.
