Summer Read: The Downhill Lie

The Downhill LieThe Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport, by Carl Hiaasen

[Non-Fiction] Mr. Hiaasen decided to return to golf after 30 years of not playing. This is a journal of his progress. It is laugh out loud funny, especially to all golfers who have been there, done that. This reader could not help but shake her head and commiserate “I know… I know…” In typical fashion, Carl changes from driver to driver, from putter to putter. Any golfer knows that the faults to one’s game lie in the equipment, not the player– such fun! A very quick and amusing read.
