Editorial Reviews

If every golfer read this book, it would make the golf professional's job that much easier.” —Harvey Penick, author of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book

“This book is long overdue. Must reading.” —Tom Kite

“Golf Etiquette should be on every golfer's bookshelf.” —Ben Crenshaw

“The first and last word on how properly to behave on and off the golf course.” —Paul Harvey

“In the past I've been known to play 36 and 54 holes a day, and know the meaning of pace of play. This book teaches golfers how to do it: when to walk, when to talk, and how to keep up, how to be a more enjoyable partner. Slow play wouldn't be the problem it's become if everyone read this book.” —Darrell Royal, Member of the National Football Hall of Fame coached the University of Texas Longhorns to 11 Southwest Conference championships, three national titles and 16 bowl appearances
