Reseña del libro "Badger's Golf Compendium: The Essential Illustrated Handbook for Clubhouse Bores (Badger Humour) (en Inglés)"

A beautifully illustrated handbook of hilarious slang and curious golfing terms as used by millions of professionals and social players around the world, essential reading for all players and followers of sport's most frustrating game, packed with wicked, witty, waspish and weird wordage from the world's fairways and clubhouses. The older the sport, the richer the language and culture. Few sports can claim a heritage as ancient as golf, and few are richer in error-strewn comedy, spiteful asides and cruel jibes. My friend in the bunker, my enemy on the green... Adolf Hitler, Airmail, Amen Corner, Army Golf ... Bandit, Brassie, Brazilian, Breakfast Ball ... Ferret, Flub, Flusher, Fried Egg ... Rabbit, Rickshaw, Ryanair, Rushdie ... Waggle, Whiff, Wise (Dennis), Wormburner... this exquisitely designed book contains over 400 curious and laugh-out-loud words and phrases from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond.From St. Andrews to Augusta, Royal St. George's to The Royal Melbourne, Sunningdale to Sun City, Pebble Beach to Pine Valley... golfers share the same funny, language, united in humour and exasperation by the same challenges, hazards, obstacles and errors.This densely packed volume of hilarious terms is essential reading for every golf enthusiast and clubhouse bore ever to have found themselves on a Claggy Lie on a Goat Track, pulled out the Hand Wedge deep in the Cabbage or smashed a Ferret out of the Kitty Litter, the perfect gift from golf widows and widowers around the globe.Sample Entries: Captain Kirk - Wild shot, going where no shot has gone beforeCuban - Ball just short of the hole that needed another revolution to get in. See Corbyn, JeremyLaurel & Hardy - Fat shot followed by a thin one, or vice-versaMouth Wedge - A gobby golfer who talks too much and bugs hell out of his playing partnersSalman Rushdie - A difficult readSon-in-law - Of a shot that you weren't really hoping for, but it will just about do. It's in the light rough, or a bit short of the green, or not completely plugged in the bunker or rough
