Product Description
As a longtime golfer, Jeff Foxworthy has learned something important about the grand auld game: It’s not who has the highest score, it’s who has the least fun playing it. And now, in his hilarious primer How to Really Stink at Golf, Foxworthy shares his invaluable tips for a lifetime of horrible drives and putts.

• Get into the right frame of mind to play truly awful golf. Food poisoning or a killer hangover might be just the ticket to a robust three-digit score.

• Try to get to the course promptly at tee time to avoid the hassle of warming up: “You’re only gonna hit five good shots in the course of the day; why waste even one on the driving range?”

• The surefire way to screw up a great drive? As you walk to the tee, keep telling yourself, “Don’t screw up your drive.” If bad golf’s your goal, stress is your best friend.

• Avoid fun. “Fun = relaxed = low scores . . . and that’s something we want to avoid at all cost. If you have a good hole, shake it off.”

• Perhaps the most important element: Embrace the fact that you do stink at golf.

Cheating. Cursing. Avoiding fairways. Reckless cart driving. How to Really Stink at Golf covers it all, from selecting the correct putter to use on a 385-yard drive to prolonging your stay in the sand trap to picking the perfect foursome for spectacularly bad golf (“you, your ex-wife, your girlfriend, your wife”). With Jeff Foxworthy as your guide, even a scratch golfer can add ten, twenty, maybe thirty strokes to his or her score–and possibly more if you attempt to play the back nine, too.

5 out of 5 stars It was a hoot!   July 7, 2008
I bought this for my golfer husband for Father's Day. He shared it with an adult son who is also a golfer. I heard a lot of chuckles. They really seemed to enjoy it.

I bought this as a gift and I am happy with it.
I recommend it.



2 out of 5 stars Not as funny as you'd hope   June 25, 2008
I love Jeff Foxworthy, but this "book" was as short as a Dr. Seuss book. We bought it for a Father's Day gift. I thought I'd glance at it before wrapping it, no sooner than I glanced, I was finished. There were a few humorous ideas, but nothing hiliarious.

I almost felt embarrased to give it as a gift.

My Suggestion: Read it first, if you find it funny, go ahead and wrap it up, if not.... give your golfer a gift certificate to Golf Galaxy instead.



2 out of 5 stars Agree with the first review   June 17, 2008
I agree with the first reviewer. The book was disappointing with only one or two good laughs and a few minor chuckles. My dad would not have liked it, so I am returning it.

Not LOL
