A collection of twenty-four short stories which cover all aspects of golf, from the player to the caddie to the clubhouse. Contributors include, among others, John Updike, Bernard Darwin, P. G. Wodehouse, Stephen Leacock, E. C. Bentley and Don Marquis.

Every decade of the 20th century and many great writers, including P. G. Wodehouse, Paul Gallico, Don Marquis, and John Updike, are represented in these great tales of golf. British duffers, amateur sleuths, pros, hustlers, plodders, cheaters, starry-eyed lovers, and crass finaglers people these stories, which range from comedy to tragedy, mystery, action, introspection, and romance. Each reveals a true love of the game and a wry understanding of golf’s frustrations, perplexities, embarrassments, and moments of pure delight.

Paul D. Staudohar is the editor of Baseball’s Best Short Stories and Football’s Best Short Stories and the author of Playing for Dollars: Labor Relations and the Sports Business and other business books. He is a professor of business administration at California State University in Hayward.
