"These stories are fabulously, painfully funny--there were times listening to them when I'd laugh so hard it really hurt. Wodehouse struck something quite extraordinary here: a golf-insider's send-up of other golfers--lousy or extraordinary--served up in 1926 golf plus fours, and as told by the golf club's 'Oldest Member.' If you're a golfer, or always wished you'd been a golfer, have a listen. You will not regret it one iota."

    " Collection of golf stories. One of the better Wodehouse short story collections. The story featuring Angus McTavish is particularly good. "

    " First class selection of golfing short stories, as told by the "Oldest Member". Many stories feature the poet and novellist Rodney Spelvin, providing the focal point of the friction between the sporting and artistic worlds which are a feature of many of Wodehouse's golfing stories. "

About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in 1975.
