How to Really Stink at Golf

by Jeff Foxworthy

For many of us, this book arrives at just the right time. Let's face The pursuit of excellence has lost its charm. Yes, Tiger Woods and his ilk can turn in round after round of long, straight drives and flawless putting, but what about the rest of us? Proudly inept golfer Jeff Foxworthy thinks that it's time for duffers to unite, shake off their shame, and embrace their mediocrity. How to Really Stink at Golf serves as the hilarious manifesto of this nascent movement, a laugh-out-guide to raising your score while you lower your blood pressure.

A cute and relatable read.

A relatively short book Spoofing the Game of Golf, and all those who are so very intent on playing their best possible game, with their lowest possible score ever. He shows that it is best to approach the Game of Golf from the position that the "glass is half empty," rather than "half full." My take from the reading is that the Game of Golf can be more fun when you accept the stress, the difficulty of playing a hole. Don't pretend that all is going to go so well that you might be considered the next Arnold Palmer or Tiger Woods. Just relax and have fun hitting the ball to the best of your ability, which you recognize may be the worst for a better player, even if your score is so far above Par that it resembles a Bowling score. The book has many extremely funny illustrations, to go along with each tiny chapter.

I thought this book was good if you liked good short funny reads. I've played golf a few times and really connected to the book and the idea that golf can be frustrating and there is lots of ways it could go wrong. i really enjoyed this book and think you should try it

I've enjoyed Foxworthy's Redneck series, but this is one of his flops.

A great book if you want a fast read and something that is hilariously true!

Here is a real short and fairly funny book on golf. Only 113 pgs. with lots of illustrations, so you can read it in no time flat. If you like golf, this books for you.
