A Hole By Hole Special--
The Little Golf Book Reviews!


Book publishers sell golf books in all sizes.

Not all of them are Coffee Table Books. Not all golf books are an inch thick and at least 5 inches wide and 9 inches tall, and filled with tips on how to improve your game.

Some golf books are Little Golf Books.

Why would anyone want a Little Golf Book?

These books make nice Little Golf Gifts, for one thing.

They are good stocking stuffers for Christmas. Some can fit inside a plastic Easter Egg. Some have beautiful pictures.

Others are joke books or other humor pieces that know the limitations of the material, and don't push too far with too much.

Take a look below and see if one of these Little Books will fit your needs!

Of course, for those who enjoy normal golf books, there are other options.  Just click to the Pastbooks Page and pick a review.

The 2000 Holiday Gift Golf Book Selections

The Golfer's Companion:
A Book of Wit and Wisdom

Edited by Armand Eisen

Pithy little quotes and funny sayings, some of which are not as familiar as others. The speakers range from Winston Churchill to Pete Dye to Dan Marino.

Marino is funnier than Churchill.

A Book of Photographs and Reflections

Edited by John Garrity

Beautiful post-card size photographs on every other page, opposite quotations from a wide range of golf books.

Amazon says it's waiting for reprints, but you might find it at your local bookstore in the meantime.

Golf Dirty Tricks:
50 Ways to Lie, Cheat, and Steal Your Way to Victory

By Jim Becker, Andy Mayer & Rick Wolff

Truly nasty and very funny ways to win at golf. Good material for a rainy day on a golf trip with the gang.

With the book comes a set of flat-top golf tees that no golf ball can stay on without glue or bubble gum.

The Little Book of Golf Slang
By Randy Voorhees

A witty guide to golf terms, good for the novice golfer. Also useful for understanding some of Gary McCord's references during his CBS golf coverage.

Golf:
A Pop-Up Book

Illustrated by Larry Ross
Pop-Up Design by William Wolff

This is the one that can fit in an Easter Egg. Amazing what one can do with paper when cut certain ways. Golf Origami, of a sort.
