 A Very Funny Golf Book October 14, 2008
A very funny golf book, it had me in stiches. Its a series of letters(not real) to and from a Golf Course on all sorts of incidents and characters and the pandimonium they create on the golf course and in the club house. Read it and have fun.
 Certainly not Henry Root May 19, 2008
I agree with the reviewer who said that most of the jokes have the same premise - they have. On the rare occasions when the recipient gets the joke or realises the letter is a hoax (e.g. the Polar Bear incident) Jolly simply labours his point and the joke is lost. If you think the idea sounds good then buy Henry Root instead - if you're a fan of Root this will disappoint.

This attemtpts to be as funny as The Timewaster Letters. Quite simply, it is not.
A WORTHY SUCCESSOR TO HENRY ROOT November 19, 2007
Taking on the authorities of your local or far distant golf club is a worthy pursuit for any man of letters and Dom Joly has written more than most! Dwarf tossing and gangsta rap may not figure in the majority of member`s complaints to the greens committee, but who are we to sniff at these fanciful exploits which would enliven some of the most conservative institutions in the land?

I'm not sure what book one of the reviewers has been reading, as there was no mention of a VW Beetle in the one I read! That aside, reading this book was the best laugh I've had in ages. The scenarios he describes to the various Golf Clubs he contacts are sometimes so ludicrous that you think he can't possibly get away with it, but somehow, he does. Not always, but enough of those Dom Joly contacted did get back to him, and thank goodness for that or this book might never have been written. Interestingly, he says that the Scots were the most accommodating in investigating his wild accusations, and the English the least. I'm not sure what that tells us - unless dwarf-tossing on the golf course is a more common sight up north, who knows?? Highly recommended as a quick cheerer-upper, or an excellent stocking-filler for Christmas. *****
