Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Have you ever replayed a three-putt at 2 a.m., blamed a terrible shot on a gust of wind that wasn't there, or apologized out loud to a golf ball? Welcome to the club.

You've spent more money on a titanium-faced stick than most people spend on a used car, and you don't regret a single penny. Written by Bailey Fitzgerald, Ridiculous Golf Facts to Read While You Wait to Tee Off delivers 500 hilarious, real, and researched truths, follies, and fairway legends to keep you entertained when the group ahead of you is playing like it's the final round of the Masters.

Inside this wildly entertaining collection, you'll discover:

- Fairway Speak & Golf Slang: The bizarre origins behind terms like "mulligan," "fore," the feared "shank," and why an 8 on your scorecard is called a "snowman."- Freakish Courses & Hazards: Play past active bull sharks in Australia, frozen lake ice in Siberia, and active volcanic craters in Hawaii-plus the $2,000 fine for harassing alligators at Kiawah Island.- Legends, Majors & Meltdowns: The story behind "Arnie's Army," Tiger Woods's legendary 15-stroke major win at Pebble Beach, and the $10,000+ Champions Dinner bills.- Bizarre Rules & Superstitions: Why golfers fear playing balls printed with the number 3, why President Eisenhower tried (and failed) to cut down Augusta's famous pine tree, and how home TV viewers actually changed official tournament outcomes.- Hollywood & High-Stakes Bets: Behind-the-scenes trivia from Caddyshack, Happy Gilmore, and Michael Jordan's legendary high-stakes golf wagers.

Whether you keep this in your golf bag for slow play, read it at the 19th hole, or give it as the ultimate gift to the golfer who has everything, this book is your perfect fairway companion.
