Product Description

 
Carl Hiaasen's golf memoir has the same antic appeal of his bestselling and side-splitting Florida crime/comic novels: absurd characters (notably Mr. Hiaasen himself), ridiculous pursuits (the game of golf), and a hilarious use of language. Hiaasen returns to the infuriating sport after a long hiatus, and discovers that he's just as inept as in his youth--despite the help of golf gurus and "miraculous" technologies. The book culminates in a grueling golf tournament, but its highlights are Hiaasen driving a golf cart into a snake-infested lake and sending a turtle sky-high with an errant drive.
