And who could forget 1492, when Christopher Columbus discovered the birthplace of Tiger Woods. \u003ci\u003eGolf\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect gift for the serious—and not so serious—golfer. .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Bestselling humorist: Henry Beard has authored or coauthored ten parodies, five of which are \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers, as well as more than two dozen other humor books, including \u003ci\u003eFrench for Cats\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Official Politically Correct Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Golf is Beard’s game: In a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e interview, Beard once said “It’s the most insidious of sports because once in a while you have a day where you do extraordinarily well and you think you can do very well—and you can’t. It’s just a tease. Even a Zen monk would be driven crazy by golf.” Beard has written seven other golf humor books, including \u003ci\u003eGolfing: The Duffer’s Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Official Rules of Bad Golf\u003c\/i\u003e ..","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32126018027603,"sku":"","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781451692556.jpg?v=1778835724","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/golf-an-unofficial-and-unauthorized-history-of-the-worl","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
