And who could forget 1492, when Christopher Columbus discovered the birthplace of Tiger Woods. \u003ci\u003eGolf\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect gift for the serious—and not so serious—golfer. .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Bestselling humorist: Henry Beard has authored or coauthored ten parodies, five of which are \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers, as well as more than two dozen other humor books, including \u003ci\u003eFrench for Cats\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Official Politically Correct Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Golf is Beard’s game: In a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e interview, Beard once said “It’s the most insidious of sports because once in a while you have a day where you do extraordinarily well and you think you can do very well—and you can’t. It’s just a tease. Even a Zen monk would be driven crazy by golf.” Beard has written seven other golf humor books, including \u003ci\u003eGolfing: The Duffer’s Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Official Rules of Bad Golf\u003c\/i\u003e ..","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52691834634513,"sku":"NLS9781451692556","price":10.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52749952024849,"sku":"NIN9781451692556","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781451692556.jpg?v=1762340631","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/golf-book-henry-beard-9781451692556","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
