Why do golfers shout "fore" when they hit the ball? Why do you come out of a Pro Shop feeling you've just been mugged, but in a good way? What is the "Slope System"? (Actually, no one knows the answer to that).
These questions and many more are answered by "The A to Z of (Amateur) Golf". From "Accessories" to "Zip", the author takes you through the terminology, the jargon, the slang, the history, the traditions, the jokes and the anecdotes that make golf the game of choice for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. It explains why the game is so challenging, why so many golfers aren't better at it and why it is sometimes such a sheer joy (or misery) to play.
Please note, this is not a "how to play golf" book. If you want to know how to play golf, consult the Pro at your local club. But for everything else, this is the "must read" book for amateur golfers past, present and future.
About the author
Robert (Bob) Cubitt has always been keen on writing and has tried his hand at various projects over the years, but the need to earn a crust had always interfered with his desire to be more creative. After serving for 23 years in the RAF, working as a logistics planner for Royal Mail and as a Civil Servant with the Ministry of Defence, Robert took up writing full time writing in 2012 and now has a large catalogue of work published.
Bob likes to write in several different genres, whatever takes his fancy at the time. His current series are sci-fi and World War II history and genres don't come much more diverse than that.
In his spare time Bob enjoys playing golf, is a member of a pub skittles team and is an ardent Northampton Saints fan.
