Fore! What do you mean it's only a game ? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9782805208614)

Martin Johnson, started his career with the South Wales Argus, progressed to the Leicester Mercury, was former cricket correspondent of The Independent, sports feature writer of the Daily Telegraph and multi-faceted writer for The Sunday Times. Here is a festival of golfing anecdotes as possibly only he could lay down in text. A rare and exceptional journalistic talent who completed this work right up to the moment he succumbed to an ugly illness. Known mainly in cricket and rugby circles, he covered a multitude of sports from Drag-racing and heavy- weight boxing all the way to synchronized swimming and Shoveha'penny. A unique talent widely appreci- ated in the world of journalism, leaving most of us laughing all the way to the box of tissues. Yet, it was not only cricket for Jonno. He loved his golf and rugby, and during his time at the Daily Telegraph (1995-2008) he brought his withering prose to all subjects. He once suggested during the height of the Mad Cow outbreak (BSE disease) in the 1990s, that the temperamental Colin Montgomerie was suffering from 'Boiling Scotsman Eruptus.' Martin made sure that life was never dull and will be sorely missed.
