from the big apple via beijing to belfast

being a non golfing lawyer who is under pressure to play the game i thought the book a great read.to all none golfing lawyers go get and surprise your partners!

First came Homer, then Vergil, then ... Trowbridge!

Golf Made Difficult is epic poetry which, in parts tragic and parts comic, speaks to the non-sensical, unreasonable, and wonderfully passionate golfer inside each of us. Tom Trowbridge deftly rhymes his way through the world of golf clubs, golf lessons, and golf games with the inside knowledge of a man who has spent long hours of unspeakable agony on a golf course for those brief seconds of delicious ecstasy. In this Iliad, we have found the Trojan horse in our golf bag but are having much too much fun to toss it out. This beautifully written and illustrated book will probably not drop your handicap but will surely make you stop crying about it. I would highly recommend it for anyone who loves golfing, and for anyone who loves someone who loves golfing.

Pro Shop Must!

I found this book to be very witty and entertaining! It should be available at every pro shop in the nation!

Better than Beowulf, A must for all

Every now and then one comes across a book that evades description, let alone classification. This is just such a book and so writing a review that does it justice is a considerable task. Trowbridge has written a book which golfers will love and which us "golf outsiders" can certainly relate to. But this book is no mere Tiger Wood's tale, rather it is an epic poem--a modern Beowulf, only instead of the mead hall, this tale takes place on the putting greens. Wonderfully illustrated and devilishly clever this is one of those rare books that is both humorous and poetic. A real treasure.
