Golf isa game that requires a great deal of concentration. I understand why t is thrilling for the players, but at least in my opinion, is not a spectator sport can see how players of another sport would have a hard time with it. I’m glad they can laugh. Congratulations on BOTD!

I love the idea of going on an annual trip with your friends. For over thirty-five years, the Montana Golf Trip group has ridden a bus to golf locations in Montana, Washington, and British Columbia. This is a collection of their humorous golf stories for your entertainment. Thank you for an informative and encouraging book review.

"Krazy Tales From the World of Golf" by Gail K. Holden is a humorous book chronicling a group of hockey players' misadventures in golf. The stories are entertaining, showcasing the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie. While enjoyable, the book may be challenging for non-golfers due to its terminology. The author's storytelling and use of golf jargon add authenticity to the tales. Overall, it's a recommended read for golf enthusiasts and comedy lovers.

A hilarious book is always fun to read, but my lack of golf knowledge will probably make it not that funny and will be like reading riddles, so I will skip this one. I hope it reaches its intended audience, though.

I adore how the word "crazy" is spelled in the book's title. It's really unique and welcoming. I've always thought of golf as an old people's sport, dull and uninteresting. I've never been able to figure out how it works mechanically. Congrats on BOTD.

Success, achievements, and goals are important, but without happiness, fun, and laughter, they have no value. Congrats to the author, #BOTD!

I wish I knew the basics about golf so that I could enjoy this comedy book about golf much more. Who doesn't want to have some humor while reading multiple stories about golf lovers?

"Krazy Tales From the World of Golf" by Gail K. Holden begins with a group of hockey players coming up with the idea to try golf. Each of the ninety chapters of the book is full of humor. I like that in the book all the characters are somehow equal.

I agree (from reading the sample) that the book seems to lack depth and doesn't seem all that appealing to people who don't pay hockey, golf, or follow those sports. It's not particularly well developed story telling, so unless that's motivating you to keep reading, you'd probably put it down like I did: relatively early on. I'm sure for some folks, the characters with cute nicknames will keep them coming back to see what happens next. For the rest of us, there are plenty of other reads worth checking out instead.

I also recommend this book to lovers of comedy and those who would love a good laugh out of anything. The book is a fun read.
- Routine life definitely needs this, I could definitely use this and the fact that it's got ninety chapters, is just perfect. A fantastic review. Thank you.

Hockey players trying to learn golf seems like it would be a fun experience for all involved. However, I don't know anything about golf so the golf jokes would probably go right over my head. I'll skip this book.

The fact that each of the ninety stories is unique, enthralling, and even enlightening and that each character is given sufficient attention and development is enthralling. The book is definitely a must-read and I cannot wait to see how golf is described. I am not very conversant with the game, but I look forward to learning.
Many thanks for the review.:tiphat: :tiphat: :tiphat:

This book is such an interesting read. Just like the review stated, novices in the world of golf would find this book difficult to comprehend because of the terminologies used.
