Overview

FORE Is a collection of ten short golf stories by the famous humorist P.G. Wodehouse, a genuine golf addict. The talent he displayed when writing lyrics for Broadway shows like Oscar Hammerstein's "Show Boat" and "Anything Goes," plus the movies adapted from his stories comes through without effort in these stories, which include the following - as told by The 'Eldest Member' of Wodehouse's country club, as he sits in the bar at the nineteenth hole: "THE CLICKING OF CUTHBERT" "A WOMAN IS ONLY A WOMAN" "A MIXED THREESOME" "SUNDERED HEARTS" "THE SALVATION OF GEORGE MACKINTOSH" "ORDEAL BY GOLF" "THE LONG HOLE" "THE HEEL OF ACHILLES" "THE ROUGH STUFF" "THE COMING OF GOWF" As an extra added feature, the publisher (Magic Lamp Press) has added an appendix containing select quotes from the Wodehouse works, as well as numerous humorous utterances about golf made by other celebrities.
