Summary: A Nasty Bit of Rough
Review: In A Nasty Bit of Rough, by David Feherty, Gussett sets his mind to win the most prestigious prize in golfing history, the finger of St. Anderew, patron saint of Scotland. Though this novel, Gussett goes through battles with peculiar handicaps, single malt scotch, and other afflictions in order to win the finger in a competition with the McGregor clan.
This is a pure delight for those who love the game of golf and for those who like to laugh out loud for hours. If you like an easy book to read and a book that is about raunchy old men, then this is the book for you.

Summary: Hilarious !!
Review: In my opinion, David Feherty is one of the best golf announcers working the circuit. I also like the columns that he writes for Golf Magazine, so I would have been surprised if I disliked his first fiction novel.I was surprised at how much I liked this book. The characters, although outrageous and over the top, are very sympathetic and you want to see them succeed, even though you know that both they and a place like Scrought's Wood could never exist in the real world.

Summary: No golf mysticism found here; just damn funny writing
Review: This is a fabulously funny book by David Feherty. Yes, the guy is glib and delightful on television. But who knew he would translate so well to writing? The guy has a real talent - I hope this work is just the first of many. A couple of items worth noting: 1) There's no "golf in the kingdom"-like mysticism found here like in so many paens to the sport these days. You get the sense right away that Feherty will have none of that [stuff]. 2) This book may set the record for the most varied and colorful euphemisms describing the male genitalia. 3) This book may set the record for the most varied and colorful euphemisms describing flatulence and excrement. 4) This book - despite its sophomoric and crude humor - is amazingly literate and quite politically correct (wait'll you get a load of Uncle Dickie's posse). 5) This book is more non-golf than golf. Hats off to the author for showing he can be humorous regardless of the subject. ...and you've gotta love any writer that steals a joke from Billy Connolly & then footnotes the guy when he uses it. Great touch.

Summary: If you golf you must read this book!
Review: This is one of the funniest, ribald, insane stories I have ever read! If you emptied out an insane asylum you would not find a zanier bunch of miscreants, in fact one of the characters "is" an escapee from an asylum. I read this book in one sitting, but it was hard to read through the tears of laughter. If you love the game of golf you might just find a little bit of yourself in more than one of the members of Scrought's Wood. Mr. Feherty please pen another novel soon!!!

Summary: The Greatest Golf Club in the Universe
Review: This story is crazy, bizarre, absolutely unbelievable. And its possibly the funniest book I have ever read. I woke my wife up with belly laughs and had commuters looking at me with disbelief as I roared with laughter on my train. Just thinking of this book puts a smile on my face. A must for all golfers!!!
