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.

For all spouses of golf enthusiasts, this would be the perfect little book to put into a Christmas stocking.
It's about half cute cartoons and half snappy paragraphs on how to do badly at golf. For example: "If you have a problem with alcohol, now is not the time to try to control it. Slowed reflexes and distorted judgment can only work to your benefit if you want to stink at golf" p 35).
It may not be his best book, but it's cute.

This was a real disappointment. I had forgotten why I didn't any of his other books after browsing them up in a book store.
Jeff Foxworthy should stick to what he does so well - live, tv, cd or any form of comedy where is personal delivery style can over-shadow weak material like this.
The only reason I'm keeping it is to add some color to my bookshelf.

The book clearly points out that if you follow its suggestions you'll stink at golf. By using the suggestions as indicative of your faults your game should improve. It helped my son!

bought this after hearing a few excerpts -- now I wish I had not -- the excerpts were the best part -- definitely no up to his usual level of humor -- a very slim volume and not really as funny ad it could have been

I bought this book because of Jeff Foxworthy's reputation as a very funny man; however, this book stinks. It is not funny. Please don't waste your money purchasing this book. I expected better from Mr. Foxworthy.
