Review Caused me to laugh out loud * The Times *Cox may not have much to boast about in the field of sporting achievement, but he has what many of his rivals palpably lack: an inner landscape, an imagination. These are terrible handicaps for a golfer, but pretty darn useful in a writer... A very, very good book * Daily Telegraph *Im not a golf fan myself, but Cox is such an enthusiastic writer that hes made me see the sport in a new light * Mail on Sunday *Tom Cox writes brilliantly about golf. He knows the game inside-out: its potent allure, its absurd comedy and its mind-bending frustrations.
