'Our greatest living humorous novelist, and indeed one
of our greatest writers' - Richard Gordon
A goof is one of those unfortunate beings who have
permitted golf to eat into their souls, like some

fat-headed lack of method and discrimination. Big
two-fisted he-men flounder round in three figures; giants
of finance have to accept a stroke per from their junior
clerks; men capable of governing empires fail to control
a smail, white ball Mysterious, but there it is.
This is a nine-hole course of stories by the Oldest

P. G. Wodehouse reminds us, hardly proves that he had
fallen under the spell of the great Russian Anna
