Book Description
A beloved New York Times bestselling author and golf aficionado shares his insatiable curiosity, trademark sense of humor, and vast knowledge of the game in this cavalcade of original pieces about why we love the sport, now featuring three additional new pieces. This is the book Rick Reilly has been writing in the back of his head since he fell in love with the game of golf at eleven years old. He unpacks and explores all of the wonderful, maddening, heart-melting, heart-breaking, cool, and captivating things about golf that make the game so utterly addictive. We meet the PGA Tour player who robbed banks by night to pay his motel bills, the golf club maker who takes weekly psychedelic trips, and the caddy who kept his loop even after an 11-year prison stint. We learn how a man on his third heart nearly won the U.S. Open, how a Vietnam POW saved his life playing 18 holes a day in his tiny cell, and about the course that's absolutely free. Reilly mines all of the game’s quirky traditions—from the shot of bourbon you take before you tee off at Peyton Manning’s course, to the way the starter at St. Andrews announces to your group (and the hundreds of tourists watching), “You’re on the first tee, gentlemen.” He means that quite literally: St. Andrews has the first tee ever invented. We’ll visit the eighteen most unforgettable holes around the world (Reilly has played them all), including the hole in Indonesia where the biggest hazard is monkeys, the one in the Caribbean that's underwater, and the one in South Africa that requires a shot over a pit of alligators; not to mention Reilly’s attempt to play the most mini-golf holes in one day. Reilly expounds on all the great figures in the game, from Phil Mickelson to Bobby Jones to the simple reason Jack Nicklaus is better than Tiger Woods. He explains why we should stop hating Bryson DeChambeau unless we hate genius, the greatest upset in women’s golf history, and why Ernie Els throws away every ball that makes a birdie. Plus all the Greg Norman stories Reilly has never been able to tell before, and the great fun of being Jim Nantz. Connecting it all will be the story of Reilly’s own personal journey through the game, especially as it connects to his tumultuous relationship with his father, and how the two eventually reconciled through golf. This is Reilly’s valentine to golf, a cornucopia of stories that no golfer will want to be without. **The Sports Librarian’s Best of 2022 – Sports Books**

Book Description
History has produced a handful of professionals and a sprinkling of amateurs, who have at times, come close to mastering the outdoor game commonly known as Golf. Then there is the rest of the world.Well armed and ready to play, this much larger group is painfully more intimate with the frustration caused by engaging one's sanity and financial resources (both of which are finite) in an outdoor game not-so-commonly known-as Flog.Flog, (Fore Love Of Golf), is the senseless pursuit of perfection in an imperfect world. It is saving through mastering the fine art of gritting one's teeth while smiling and making pleasant conversation. And, on those days, when nothing seems to go right. Flog is a suitable description of how we all play the game (at least sometimes)... hacking, whacking, cursing our way down the fairway... looking for respectability... or at the very least, an unfair advantage!But isn't it comforting to know, that even the pros, the world's elite, with their years of practice and privilege, impressive accumulation of winnings, their arsenal of sticks and tricks of the trade... isn't it nice to know, that even they cannot escape "their day in the barrel." (as it were) Indeed, they must suffer the indignity of appearing as mere mortals on international television.Flog is the publication you have been waiting for! It will reveal to you the ancient golf secrets of the masters. You will learn how to spend more money than you ever dreamed possible on golf equipment and instructional videos. You will learn which golf gimmicks work and which ones don't, and why you should buy them all anyway.Flog will also teach you the dark mysteries of male-female rivalry and show you how to exploitthem.Are you a good loser? Flog can make you a better one, losing all the time, every time!And if winning is more your style, Flog will show you how can do that too, by using a secret method that we call "cheating."To discover even more golf shenanigans, to frolic in the misfortune of others, to contribute a tale or two of your own, or merely to bathe in the water hazard of mediocrity, please visit Golf's newest domain for golf news and entertainment at: www.FlogWorld.com
