Originally drawn to the game by his father, Carl Hiaasen wisely quit golfing in 1973. But some ambitions refuse to die, and as the years–and memories of shanked 7-irons faded, it dawned on Carl that there might be one thing in life he could do better in middle age than he could as a youth. So gradually he ventured back to the dreaded driving range, this time as the father of a five-year-old son–and also as a grandfather.   “What possesses a man to return in midlife to a game at which he’d never excelled in his prime, and which in fact had dealt him mostly failure, angst and exasperation? Here’s why I did it: I’m one sick bastard.” And thus we have Carl’s foray into a world of baffling titanium technology, high-priced golf gurus, bizarre infomercial gimmicks and the mind-bending phenomenon of Tiger Woods; a maddening universe of hooks and slices where Carl ultimately–and foolishly–agrees to compete in a country-club tournament against players who can actually hit the ball. “That’s the secret of the sport’s infernal seduction,” he writes. “It surrenders just enough good shots to let you talk yourself out of quitting.” Hiaasen’s chronicle of his shaky return to this bedeviling pastime and the ensuing demolition of his self-esteem–culminating with the savage 45-hole tournament–will have you rolling with laughter. Yet the bittersweet memories of playing with his own father and the glow he feels when watching his own young son belt the ball down the fairway will also touch your heart. Forget Tiger, Phil and Ernie. If you want to understand the true lure of golf, turn to Carl Hiaasen, who offers an extraordinary audiobook for the ordinary hacker. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Carl Hiaasen's Bad Monkey.

I have been a fan of Carl Hiasson for many years, having read at least 5 of his previous books. As a golfer, I had this on my "must read" list. When it come up on my ladies' league book club list, I had extra motivation to read it through. It was classic Hiasson style for about the first half. Thereafter, however, it failed to carry the day. Reading shot-by-shot, hole-by-hole, detailed accounts of his game became tiresome at that point. Further, topics addressed in the first half were raised time and time again in the second half, to the extent that it became beyond tiresome to irksome. When it came time for the book club session, I found I was not alone in my disappointment in this effort to take a humorous perspective to the game. I believe Hiasson grew weary of his obligation to complete the book and simply continued on and on and on and on and on....
