Too often golf is presented in the wrong way: too seriously, or through gossip, with too little valuable information. This book does the trick: it is aimed at players, to amuse those who don’t know the fascinating world of golf. Protagonists, rules, anecdotes, old time secrets and a long history. Did you know, for instance, that in the XVth century the game was banned by the Scottish Parliament because it was thought to distract the Military from their activities? There are a thousand such tales, as there are a thousand strangenesses a golfer can be up to play: be it among the icebergs in Greenland, in the desert sand or even in the middle of a traffic jam. Sometimes, golf catches like an illness.
