The Downhill Lie, Carl Hiaasen (3.0)
As usual, Mr. Hiaasen writes with plenty of humor. Unlike
his other books, this is a bit of a memoir about his return to golf. It’s a
short, funny, completely golf related book. If you golf, you have likely been
frustrated with the game and will appreciate his experience. His journey to be
a better golfer will resonate with all of us who have done all the recommended things:
get lessons; try the newest club, the newest balls, and then the next newest
club/ball. All while failing miserably, though having one good hole amongst 9
and trying it all over again. If you play golf (I won’t say ‘like’), you’ll
enjoy this book. If not, I’d recommend one of his fiction books.
