Two of the funniest books ever published on their respective
subjects - SAILING and GOLFING - are back. And better than ever.
Repackaged in the irresistibly chunky, compulsively readable small
square book format, each is a perfect gift for a new generation of
obsessives. GOLFING is even funnier than when it was originally
published. Now an avid golfer, Henry Beard brings the same passion
for improvement to writing about golf as he does to playing it, and
he's both added new definitions and rewritten many others. Like
whiff - "Familiar term widely misused to describe particularly fast
and powerful style of practice swing intentionally made directly
over the ball." A classic, SAILING is "...quite simply the funniest
book I have ever read" - William F. Buckley Jr. From ahoy - "The
first in a series of four-letter words commonly exchanged by
skippers as their boats approach each other" to zephyr - "A warm,
pleasant breeze named after the mythical Greed god of wishful
thinking, false hopes and unreliable forecasts" - it brings new
meaning to the things said at sea.
