About this title

Synopsis

Grantland "Granny" Rice, perhaps the finest sportswriter of his era, penned this charming collection of essays, poems, and tips on the finer points of this potentially maddening hobby. Accompanying the text are Brigg's cartoons which depict the universal and sometimes silly experiences of every golfer. Series editor Herbert Warren Wind contends that "the man who does not laugh, out loud occasionally, at Brigg's cartoons cannot have laughter in his soul".Anyone who has attempted the game of golf will enjoy this comical classic, and just may learn a few things in the bargain.

Store Description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
