G. Wodehouse displays his most uproarious storytelling and never-ending jollity in these tales of lovers on the links.\u003cbr\u003e --Cuthbert Banks, champion golfer, wins the heart of his beloved Adeline, who won't give him the time of day until a visiting Russian author ignores everyone to fawn over Cuthbert's golfing prowess.\u003cbr\u003e --One man loses his fiance when he discovers golf late in life (on the eve of his wedding) and just can't stop thinking about it.\u003cbr\u003e --One golfing woman attempts to kill (with her niblick) her golfing husband who just won't stop talking during the game (he survives, cured of his garrulity).\u003cbr\u003e --One golf fanatic discovers, to his horror, that he has married a croquet player; their union is nearly sundered, until she takes up the ancient and royal game and matches his handicap.\u003cbr\u003e --Two men play a single hole sixteen miles long, requiring over eleven-hundred strokes, in a grudge match over the love of one woman.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Other loves stand and fall by the vagaries of that infuriating tiny white ball. The end result is a collection of sublimely funny stories, dear to all golfers, and those who love them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for P. G.
