"Feherty is at his self-effacing best." -- Los Angeles Times "Golf
is not a game, it's a punishment." -- David Feherty The New York
Times bestselling author of A NASTY BIT OF ROUGH and SOMEWHERE IN
IRELAND, A VILLAGE IS MISSING AN IDIOT, returns with a singular
assortment of ribald observations on golf, life, and how best to
not take any of it seriously. "First Joyce, then Yeats, now
Feherty. The tradition of Irish literary excellence continues, but
with this difference: of the three, only Feherty is funny." --
Steven Pressfield, author of THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE and THE WAR
OF ART
"Major Jim Gant, a man seen by many of us as the 'perfect
insurgent, '--an inspiring, gifted, courageous leader... -- GENERAL
DAVID H. PETRAEUS (U.S. Army, Ret.) THE PAPER THAT ROCKED OSAMA BIN
LADEN Team members during the May 2, 2011 U.S. military raid that
killed Osama Bin Laden seized piles of Al Qaeda intelligence. One
piece of evidence found in Bin Laden's personal sleeping quarters
was an English language copy of Jim Gant's One Tribe at a Time. It
contained notes in the margins consistent with others identified as
written by Osama Bin Laden. A directive from Osama Bin Laden to his
intelligence chief was also discovered. It identified Jim Gant by
name as an impediment to Al Qaeda's operational objectives for
eastern Afghanistan. Bin Laden ordered that Gant be assassinated. "
One Tribe at a Time] was hugely important...at a time when I was
looking for ideas on Afghanistan... Gant] was the first to write it
down, in a very coherent fashion, very readable, very encouraging
frankly...and there is enormous power in that." --General David H.
Petraeus (U.S. Army, Ret.) quoted in American Spartan: The Promise,
The Mission, and The Betrayal of Special Forces Major Jim Gant by
Ann Scott Tyson

lived life on his terms." -- KAMAL RAVIKANT, bestselling author of

NOT FOR EVERYONE. NEITHER ARE YOU. Is a highly concentrated,
straight-to-the-bloodstream three part collection of axioms
designed to help you to discover your singular inner style and to
best express it in all of your personal and professional
relationships. Without apology. Written down as "notes to myself"

superstar/performer/playwright/author, David Leddick teaches us
that how you see yourself is how others see you So find your own
style and express it as freely as you would a work of art.
The Story Behind THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE If you've read his
books THE WAR OF ART and TURNING PRO, you know that for thirty
years Steven Pressfield (GATES OF FIRE, THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN etc.)
wrote spec novel after spec novel before any publisher took him
seriously. How did he finally break through? Ignoring just about
every rule of commercial book publishing, Pressfield's "first"
novel not only became a major bestseller (over 250,000 copies
sold), it was adapted into a feature film directed by Robert
Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron.
Where did he get the idea? What magical something did THE LEGEND OF
BAGGER VANCE have that his previous manuscripts lacked? Why did
Pressfield decide to write a novel when he already had a well
established screenwriting career? How does writing a publishable
novel really work? Taking a page from John Steinbeck's classic
JOURNAL OF A NOVEL, Steven Pressfield offers answers for these and
scores of other practical writing questions in THE AUTHENTIC SWING.
"Golf is not a game, it's a punishment." -David Feherty "If you're
one of those people who think golf is a religion, prepare for some
seriously funny blasphemy." --Troon McAllister, author of The Green
Somewhere in Ireland, A Village is Missing an Idiot is a collection
of Feherty's most popular Golf Magazine columns, intermingled with
his most outrageous work from Golfonline.com. As an added bonus,
readers will be treated to some notorious pieces from his work at
the British publication Golf Monthly. Edited by and with a running
commentary by Feherty, and accompanied by some of the priceless
letters to the editor from readers across the country and around
the globe complaining about Feherty's perversity, Somewhere in
Ireland is the perfect Father's Day gift for the crankiest duffer
in every family.
