5.0 out of 5 stars A must for golfers and/or Wodehouse fans, 3 May 1999
By A Customer
This wonderful collection of P G Wodehouse's golfing short stories provides the reader with a book that he or she can treat as an occasional coffee table book, each story being entirely self contained, or as a full blown novel, as the characters are marvellously consistent. Each story is recounted by 'The Oldest Member', himself quite a character and someone that all Golfers will relate to, as every club has a similar father figure. Each of the stories evokes images of life in the 1920's and 30's, in the same sort of social circles as inhabited by Wodehouse's most famous character, Bertie Wooster. Similar themes also prevail, such as couples becoming engaged and separating over trivialities, but golf is here the uniting factor. Wodehouse clearly had a great fondness for golf, and for the two principal locations of the stories - England and the North Eastern United States - and blends all of these themes wonderfully well. The best recommendation I can give this book is that, unlike so much humour, it bears re-reading time and again, if only to be reminded to Wodehouse's superlative turn of phrase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative periodic humour, 4 Dec 2006
By S. Barber (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. As a golfer, nostalgic & Wodehouse fan, this is surely one of the great comic books. Every page is bursting with gentle witticisms & humour, not forgetting the odd bit of sage advice from "The Oldest Member". I have had this book for about 8 years & every time I think of it again, I read it from cover to cover.

A must read. Buy it.
