Golf Unplugged

With sharp wit and humor, veteran golf Journalist and historian Jim Apfelbaum examines the game's oddities, rarities, heroes and duffers. A hilarious yet insightful look at how the game has bamboozled players for over 400 years…perhaps now more than ever. Among the author's swing thoughts: The story behind Ben Hogan's secret sixth lesson… The 3 putt that Bobby Jones nearly fanned… How Tiger Woods removes the ball from the cup (with 8 action-photo sequence and special commentary so You can do it, too!)… The First Lady who was a golf widow on honeymoon at St Andrews… The contents of Ben Hogan's desk drawers …Sarazan hitting from a hot dog stand – and saving par. Here is writing that's subtle, thoroughly self-effacing and informative. …a very thoughtful read. – Bradley Klein, GolfWeek Celebrates the spirit of real golf, found in old letters, at ancient links, on a roof overlooking the Old Course at St. Andrews during the Open Championship…. I laughed out loud, and found myself pining for a time when the world wasn't tuned into every incident all the time. – Bob Labbance, Author and President of the golf Collector's Society
