FORE!
Country clubs that don't want you as a member…rules clearly in need of revision...and high-performance socks that promise to take two strokes off your score. Ah, golf! Has there ever been a sport that comes with so much baggage and heartbreak? Never fear-Emmy Award-winning commentator Bill Geist, author of The Big Five-Oh and Little League Confidential, has taken up-and taken on-the sport that makes duffers of us all. Geist intrepidly shares the misadventures, hilarity, and uproarious learning curve that has marked his own golfing experiences, including:

· Playing in the Bad Golfers Association Tournament-and losing

· Playing in the Blind Golfers Association Tournament-and losing

· Visiting a golf psychiatrist and forgiving his parents for always making him hit into a bunker

· Discovering a way to keep the cost of golfing down-by buying balls by the 36-pack whenever you play nine holes

· Learning to lower your score: "Every so often skip a hole-it's still the best way to take 8-10 strokes off your game."

THE PUTT AT THE END OF THE WORLD
A novel by Lee K. Abbott, Dave Barry, Richard Bausch, James Crumley, James W. Hall, Tami Hoag, Tim O'Brien, Ridley Pearson, and Les Standiford.

Golf is not a team sport. But who says fiction can't be? Fore? No, nine. That's how many literary grand masters each contribute a chapter and together bring you a blistering drive of a story that beats par with every page. It follows three notorious hard-luck golfers who turn up to inaugurate a new state-of-the-art course…and things start to get very rough in the rough. Will the green run red? Where, exactly, is the mysterious nineteenth hole? With this suspenseful and hilarious ensemble tour de force of sex, money, and mayhem on the links, the "good walk" has never been more fun.

"Riotously funny...infectiously entertaining…the literary equivalent of a pie fight."
-St. Petersburg Times
