Editorial Reviews:

A hilarious hole in one! Golfers are, to say the least, dedicated (some would argue certifiable) and these cartoons bring out the best of the humor of the game—from its triumphs to its frustrations. The New Yorker 's cartoon editor Bob Mankoff has selected the very best golf cartoons for this book from the magazine's amazing artists. And the best of The New Yorker means cartoonists like Charles Addams, Peter Arno, George Booth, Roz Chast, Edward Koren, and William Steig. George Plimpton has theorized on sports books that "the smaller the ball, the better the book." He was commenting on prose, but this fabulous collection proves his theory true for cartoons as well.

Good gift for an older golfer Jan 30, 2010

Got this for my dad who is in his 60s and has been a golfer for years. He really enjoyed it all the way through. It wasn't the best in my opinion, but I don't play golf.

Enjoyed most of them Oct 24, 2008

Being a begineer to golf, I enjoyed most of the cartoons.
I only wish the book was longer :)

Not worth the money Dec 29, 2007

Too expensive for what it is. The cartoons are only so-so. It does not have very many pages of cartoons.

disappointing Nov 20, 2007

Being an avid golfer and devotee of the New Yorker, I was surprisingly disappointed at the few real laughs in this collection

The Perfect Gift!!! Nov 05, 2006

I searched and searched for a present for my golf-mad boyfriend, and this was by far the best golf book I could have bought him. Even I enjoy and can relate to the cartoons, fantastic buy and sits proudly on his bookshelf.
