A Disorderly Compendium of Golf by Lorne Rubenstein

Golf is in the details, and for anyone fascinated by the minutiae of the game, "A Disorderly Compendium of Golf" hits the pin. It's all here, including history: oldest courses, top 5 money winners at 10 year intervals, the importance of James II of Scotland. It also includes: Colourful characters: like the hustler who would bet you that he could roll out of bed in the morning and make a 40 foot putt on his first try, and his secret for doing it every time; Odd rules: did you know you may take a free drop from an ant hill but not from poison ivy? Good golf instruction, how to hit Phil Mickelson's trademark flop shot and confusing golf instruction: Tom Watson says "Never feel you're reaching for the ball," while Johnny Miller advises "Reach for the ball..."; Embarrassing moments and helpful tips; The lexicon: professional caddie nicknames, terms for an ugly shot, names of golf balls; Plus gambling games, the grasses used in greens, unusual patents, Shakespearan quotes on golf, golf at midnight, longest and shortest holes...and more, and more.
