“Krazy Tales From the World of Golf” by Gail K. Holden is based on a group of hockey players in Spokane, WA that decided to go golfing 250 miles away in Montana. The book includes true golf stories that are hilarious and annoying for the victims of the pranks the friends pull on one another. Holden is one of the participants and Gail relates 90 chapters of stories that occurred in Spokane, Idaho, Seattle and Montana. The story about the Greyhound bus they used to go to Montana had an interesting ending and the prank of putting colonoscopy preparation powder in Nacs' coffee made for an “unusual” round of golf for a 300 pound man that normally hit long drives and had an 11 handicap. Being an avid golfer, I enjoyed the stories and look forward to the many chapters to follow.

This seems like a great book for people who like or are interested in golf. The only downside of this book is the lack of explanation of golf terminologies. The author should have explained it to prevent confusion. Congratulations on making botd!

Ninety chapters seem quite a lot, but as has been pointed out each of them has a funny narrative which, I can attest, is further accentuated by the titles of those chapters. Moreover, they are all based on true stories that uphold the spirit of sportsmanship. It should be a great read.

This sounds like a book with good humor. It'll be fun to learn about golf by reading this book. I'd also like to know how justice was done even at the expense of friends.

I find the game of golf interesting and I have no doubt I will like the book, I agree with you that going to check the meaning of words can be stressful. I like that humor and lessons are embedded in the book. Thank you for such a great review. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

A collection of hilariously funny stories that the author shares with the reader during her annual weekend immersed in the golf world. Sounds like a great read!! I love that there are also gold technical terminology throughout the book, thanks for pointing that out in your review!!

I will have to pass on this book since the golf terminology isn't user-friendly for beginners like myself. Thank you for the review.

Your review is thorough and insightful! It sounds like "Krazy Tales from the World of Golf" is a delightful romp through the antics and adventures of a group of hockey players trying their hand at golf. Your description captures the essence of the book's humor and the camaraderie among the characters.

It is sad that the author used terms only conversant with people familiar with golf, hence limiting the audience reachability for the book. Thank you for your honest review.

Golf is a game that isn't meant for the weak-hearted. The team should have been ready for the difficulties it comes with. I however enjoyed reading your review.
