Rating: Summary: Hilarious. Lot's of laughs for the soul of the golfer. Review: I recently bought this book at the L.A. Times book festival. I too am an addicted golfer. The confession, obsessions and insights of a golf addict is a most appropriate subtitle for The Golf Gods are Laughing. The funniest thing I've ever read about the game. JW. California.
Rating: Summary: great father's day gift and client gift Review: I recently purchased 25 copies of this book for my clients, all of whom are golf nuts. I love it and they all love it. It's very funny!
Rating: Summary: The Golf Gods are laughing Review: I thought this was the most fun book on golf I've ever read and I've read quite a few. In many of the chapters I felt as if the author were writing about me, personally. (In one chapter, it turns out that he actually was.) I can't say enough good things about the way the book was written. It is down to earth, very, very accurate regarding the feelings that most addicted golfers feel, and just a real lot of fun to read.I was so impressed with the book that I bought 24 of them (so far) and have sent them to a lot of my golf buddies. I think that there's not much more I can say without being reptitious other than this is the best golf book I have ever read.

Rating: Summary: If you play, you'll laugh! Review: Purchased this book at the Orange County airport where the author was signing. He has a great grasp of the futility of the process and has great fun with it in the book. At least 5 good laughs in every chapter. I can relate!!! Benjamin-a fellow addict
Rating: Summary: Most enjoyable book on the experience of golf ever! Review: Robert has done a great service for golfers at every level. His book is entertaining, educational, funny, hilarious, offers helpful hints, all in one. I don't believe he has left out any aspect about the challenges of the golf game. You can pick it up at any point in the book and have a hard time putting it down. Definite thumbs up Robert.
Rating: Summary: The Golf Gods Laugh At Us All! Review: Robert the Bruce has captured us all since the Gods laugh and strike golfers down at will. A very funny account of the experiences we have all felt in learning this most rewarding and difficult game ever devised for the torment of man. This account was made even more enjoyable for me since the encounters Robert experienced in Orange County, California and surrounding counties are in my primary golfing venues as well. Every course, every shot successful or failed have matched my experiences with the same highs and lows! As a collector of golf books and a practicing Golf Nut I highly recommend this book to all who either laugh along with the Gods or who desperately need to start. The Golf Gods just won't quit laughing!

Rating: Summary: Must reading for every golfer Review: Robert Woodcox covers the full spectrum of the golfing experience in a wonderful, acrid and hilarious potpourie of anecdotes, tips, and history. Robert manages to touch (or tickle) the deepest recesses of the golfing soul in a profound way. Read it and you will come away with a true sense that you are part of the aggregate soul of golf.

Rating: Summary: "Must" reading for anyone who has ever played golf. Review: The common denominator that binds all golfers together is experiencing the emotions, idiosyncrasies and flaws that are part and parcel of the game of golf. Robert Woodcox's The Golf Gods Are Laughing: The Confessions, Obsessions, And Insights Of A Golf Addict is an articulate, insightful, funny, and compelling treatise that will be read and enjoyed by virtually everyone who has ever hit the little white ball with a club, lined up a putt, slogged through a sand trap, drowned in a water hazard, or wandered aimlessly in the rough in search of the unfindable. Highly recommended.
