"Standard Jenkins charcaters and story, this time set in the world of women's golf, the LPGA. That may not sound glowing, but Jenkins writes with such wit and voice that his characters jump off the page. You don't have to be a sports or golf fan to enjoy this. A short, easy, good-time read."

" I'm always a sucker for a good book about golf. This was funny, cynical, and just plain fun to read. Not to mention the fact that it's still way to cold to go play golf yet, so this is as close as I'll get for a while. "

" Dan Jenkins amazingly non politically correct look at the LPGA made me laugh out loud when I was reading it. He comes up with the most amazingly hilarious slang to describe things such as un-prude women and strange situations. "
