Synopsis
and Bill Simpson
I know, you’re good at golf. Break 80 no sweat. This book is not for you.
You love golf, even though it frequently ticks you off. This book might be for you.
Over 35 million Americans play golf. Statistics claim over 20 million of those play and practice and obsess over the game with reckless abandon. They take the game more seriously than they take their jobs, their spouses, even their own kids.
Who Says Bogey Ain’t Par? has been conceived and executed for these long suffering masses. Reading Who Says Bogey Ain’t Par? will probably not make you a better golfer. See Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book or Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons: The Fundamentals of Golf if you actually believe reading a book can cure your slice or get you out of the sand.
Who Says Bogey Ain’t Par? takes some of the starch out of the game. Using a nice blend of wit and wisdom, this little volume will do its best to alter your attitude about the game. If I have my way you’ll soon be walking, not riding; counting all your strokes, and talking a blue streak even while your best buddy or Scottie Scheffler is in the middle of his backswing.
I mean where is it written that humans must be perfectly still and silent when someone is getting ready to whack a golf ball? Exactly nowhere, that’s where. And who says you should be able to hit a little white ball 444 yards into a tiny cup in four strokes?
Who, I ask, says bogey ain’t par?
