Golf Gumbo: A Mishmash of Golf Facts and Fun (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798833694794)

Golf Gumbo - A Mishmash of Golf Facts and Fun, is a delightfully humorous exploration of all things golf. From first tee jitters to 19th hole traditions. From the very beginnings of the game (thanks rabbit holes) to current day headlines (thanks Tiger). It's a fun read for anyone who can't control the urge to read, think, dream or laugh about the great game of golf. That would include you.

Having played golf for a lifetime, Rick Braithwaite understands the unique mindset required to play and endure a game as frustrating and time consuming as golf. His humor is spot on and unexpected, including four-letter word options for the name of the game, in violation of the well known phrase "All the other four-letter words were taken."

Every aspect of the game is brought to life with short essays worthy of a spit-take. It's a light-hearted look at golf passions and sweater vests. At hosel rockets and locker room antics. At selecting the right club to throw into the lake, and finding the best sandbagger for your next member-guest tournament. At the sleep-deprived maintenance crew and the golf staff luxuriating in air conditioned splendor. At dimples on balls and Jennifer Garner. At why it's okay to pay more for a set of clubs than your first car.
