Ben Trovato, the man who inadvertently managed to incur the wrath of gay men, feminists, transvestites, former soldiers, fishermen, and the Spanish within a frighteningly short span of time, now turns his attention to golf. In this entertaining and informative collection of anecdotes, Trovato tackles such vexing matters as a man's right to boff a cheating opponent on the noggin with a five iron, the appropriate moment to whip out your wood in front of a player of the fairer sex, and whether or not there is a market for a six-cylinder, V8 golf cart.

Between these covers you have the best of Ben Trovato's popular satirical columns, letters and assorted rants from the Sunday Times since 2008. After thousands of hours of close reading and heated debate, we've compiled the funniest and cleverest material for maximum levels of enjoyment and entertainment. This is Ben's tenth book, but it would not be an overstatement to say that herein lies some of the most insightful and unbalanced social commentary currently available in print. Or out of print. And although not fully recognised as such yet, Trovato is a national treasure for his relentless pursuit of truth, equality, cold beer, and hot women.
