Golf Books #307 (Golf’s Best Excuses)1

Explain away your bad shots—and have your friends laugh at the same time!

In Golf’s Best Excuses, author Joshua Shifrin takes a witty approach in helping golfers make sense of their worst days on the course. The next time a player goes down in defeat, he or she can always explain the woeful round with “My golf clubs are too old.” Or after a bad putt, golfers might try to explain the mishap with, “There were too many spike marks on the green.”

Shifrin has crafted 150 funny—but all-too-real—excuses for pros and amateurs alike. Examples include:

  • I’m late for my wedding and it’s throwing off my concentration.
  • I thought this hole was a dogleg to the left . . . not right.
  • If I didn’t have those four double bogeys I could have scored really well today.
  • Someone yelled “fore” during my backswing.
  • Any many more!

Whether you want to motivate the duffer in your life or laugh away embarrassing mistakes in your own game, Golf’s Best Excuses is a must-read. Complete with laugh-out-loud full-color cartoons, this book makes for the perfect gift.
