'The Downhill Lie' by Carl Hiaasen

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.
