Product Description
As a longtime golfer, Jeff Foxworthy has learned something important about the grand auld game: It’s not who has the highest score, it’s who has the least fun playing it. And now, in his hilarious primer How to Really Stink at Golf, Foxworthy shares his invaluable tips for a lifetime of horrible drives and putts.
• Get into the right frame of mind to play truly awful golf. Food poisoning or a killer hangover might be just the ticket to a robust three-digit score.
• Try to get to the course promptly at tee time to avoid the hassle of warming up: “You’re only gonna hit five good shots in the course of the day; why waste even one on the driving range?”
• The surefire way to screw up a great drive? As you walk to the tee, keep telling yourself, “Don’t screw up your drive.” If bad golf’s your goal, stress is your best friend.
• Avoid fun. “Fun = relaxed = low scores . . . and that’s something we want to avoid at all cost. If you have a good hole, shake it off.”
• Perhaps the most important element: Embrace the fact that you do stink at golf.
Cheating. Cursing. Avoiding fairways. Reckless cart driving. How to Really Stink at Golf covers it all, from selecting the correct putter to use on a 385-yard drive to prolonging your stay in the sand trap to picking the perfect foursome for spectacularly bad golf (“you, your ex-wife, your girlfriend, your wife”). With Jeff Foxworthy as your guide, even a scratch golfer can add ten, twenty, maybe thirty strokes to his or her score–and possibly more if you attempt to play the back nine, too.

 A very funny read for all hackers June 1, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is downright hilarious. It just about covers every mistake and error you can possibly make to give yourself the highest possible score for your round as possible. Foxworthy, is in his usual, sarcastic best in this book. It will remind you of why he was funny in the first place.
However, the book is terribly short. Much of the book is pictures and the writing rarely takes up 3/4 of the page. My advice would be to read it at a bookstore or wait until a paperback version comes out because 16 dollars for a book you can read in 20 minutes is a bit much. Even when you add in the, "show it to your buddy" factor.

This is a funny look at golf. Bought it for my son the golf nut. I enjoyed it and am sure he will also. Its for his future birthday so I can't confirm that yet. If you want to truly stink at golf... friends here is your guide book from one of the funniest comedians around.
 Foxworthy Whiffs on This One--Almost June 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Rather disappointing effort by one of the funnest men alive today...Almost like he was trying too hard to be funny...this book lacks the natural easiness and flair of his best work.
Several laugh-out-loud lines, but not enough. Recommended, but don't get your hopes to high.
Not Much Foxworthy In These Pages June 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Foxworthy can be truly entertaining, but you won't find much of him or his humor in this patched together book. It's not a tenth as funny or insightful as another new golf memoir titled Fairway to Hell: Around the World in 18 Holes. That book practically made me wet my pants.
 Grrrrrrrr June 9, 2008
This is truly a waste of money. 113 pages that take 7 minutes to complete? Foxworthy is a very funny fellow - with the exception of this piece of dribble. Don't waste your money.
