RL,
That sounds like a great book . I could have used it before giving up the game of golf many years ago. All I have left are some funny stories that are strange, but true.
Once after hitting into a large tree, two balls came out. On another occasion the ball hit the tree and stayed in ,but a squirrel came out. Our municipal golf course has a par three with a tree that produces the largest leaves I've ever seen,almost a foot square. I've never determined the species.
Anyway one fall day as the leaves were falling my drive which was a worm burner slithered 30 yards in front of my group and under one of the large leaves. The four of us never found the ball.
This didn't seem funny at the time , but certainly was amusing to some onlookers. I normally wasn't too bad on water holes except for one day when I met my Waterloo hitting 5 consecutive shots in the pond. A good samaritan handed me a ball saying "try this". On it was printed the word "floater". I proceeded to drive that ball over the water with my best shot of the day. Later it turned out the ball really would float.
The entire time I spent golfing I never scored a birdie , but once after a 100 yard roll was lucky to get an eagle.

The last time I played golf was about 8 years ago. I broke my club while teeing of at the 8th hole. I lost 7-8 balls in the pond before I finally gave up trying.

Yup...golf is not my game.
