From Publishers Weekly
This dull compendium of "links" tales is unlikely to captivate anyone besides golf zealots.

From Library Journal
Golf Digest editor Wade's compilation of golf tales blends poignant, humorous, intriguing, and eye-opening stories about the people and places of the game. Giving credence to the many eclectic, well-written stories with his first-person narrative, Wade provides an interesting and insightful view of the game. Events he has witnessed or accounts related to him directly include stories about golfers Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Weiskopf, as well as country singer Willie Nelson and the venerable St. Andrews' golf course. To say this is a collection of the "greatest" golf stories is unjustifiable. However, many of these are great stories and well worth reading. For most sports collections.

This book is for the die hard golf fan!!!
Don Wade, author and senior editor of Golf Digest Magazine, has put together a well-crafted book of true golf stories that he has collected since the '70's. There are over a hundred different golfers featured in this book. Each story reflects on the events told to Don Wade or personal expiriences by him while covering the game. This book is very humorous and is sure to be a hit with anyone, whether you are a golf fan or not!!!!

For the die hard golf fan this book is very entertaining.
This book is extremely entertaining. I liked it a lot. It shows that not only is golf a game, it's a way of life. Some of the stories are incredibly funny. There seems to be a story about everyone, including Willie Nelson. I think anyone who likes light hearted short stories. Be sure not to miss the ones about Dwight Eisenhower!!!

This was an extremely funny and entertaining book.
I liked the comedy in this book. It made me want to keep reading because of the laughter.
