- An ingenious mix of facts and flights of fancy: The history of
golf begins in 732 AD, when a relic of St. Andrew--patron saint of
Scotland and of golf--was found wearing a copper arthritis
bracelet. And who could forget 1492, when Christopher Columbus
discovered the birthplace of Tiger Woods. "Golf" is the perfect
gift for the serious--and not so serious--golfer. .
- Bestselling humorist: Henry Beard has authored or coauthored ten
parodies, five of which are "New York Times" bestsellers, as well
as more than two dozen other humor books, including "French for
Cats" and "The Official Politically Correct Dictionary" . .
- Golf is Beard's game: In a "New York Times" 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 "Golfing: The Duffer's Dictionary" and "The
Official Rules of Bad Golf" ..
