" if you know any males who read and have any interest in golf, they will eat this up. I'm not sure if it still in print. I liked it for the Boston-based characters but my husband thinks it is one of the best fiction books he's read. The author is the former last-page columnist for SI, Rick Reilly, and he is quite funny. "

" I really thought I wouldn't like an entire book of Rick Reilly, as his columns sometimes drive me crazy because he tries to hard, but this book was really good! Maybe you have to be a golfer to appreciate, but I am so I read it in about 8 hours! I'm going to read some more of his stuff soon. "

" To be fair, I never finished the book. I was reading it as a possible book for summer reading, and it is just too risque. I found the characters too annoying (although a little funny) to finish since I no longer had a purpose. I do know several people who really liked the book, however, so maybe I'll pick it up again sometime. "
