Golf Stories is a wonderful gathering of short fiction about the
famously addictive pastime.
Here are literary classics by such golf-loving writers as P. G.
Wodehouse, Ring Lardner, and John Updike, mixed with surprises like an
appearance by Ian Fleming's James Bond and a little crime on the links
from mystery master Ian Rankin. Humorists and sportswriters ranging from
E. C. Bentley to Dan Jenkins and Rick Reilly weigh in as well, alongside
a tale of romance on the greens from F. Scott Fitzgerald, a little-known
gem by famous golf architect A. W. Tillinghast, and a story by Rex
Lardner (Ring's nephew) that just may be the single funniest thing ever
written about golf. The resulting anthology is as enticing, provocative,
and entertaining as the game of golf itself.
