My Baby Got the Yips: The Random Thoughts of an Unprofessional Golfer (HB) - Description
There are innumerable instruction books for the average club golfer teaching him or her how to play better. There are also innumerable books by the top professionals about their careers in golf, about their personal motivation and the key to their success.
But no one writes books about the average club golfer and what he thinks about, what are his priorities, and how he views his often futile lifetime's dedication to golf.
Now Richard Russell has filled that gap with a hilarious book about the thoughts and experiences of a very average Sunningdale weekend golfer - himself.
It reveals, as thousands of similar weekend golfers will confirm, that often the most motivating factor in their game will not be visualising the parabolic arc of one's backswing, but the prospect of the refreshment kiosk and its illicitly rich snacks next to the 9th hole.
Or that, far from wanting lectures in golf etiquette from Olympian figures like Jack Nicklaus, of more concern is perfecting the art of hurling a club spectacularly after a truly horrid shot.
My Baby Got the Yips is a genuinely funny, whimsical and original golf book that will make a perfect gift for every average golfer.
