Sinossi

Golf has rules. Weekend golf has survival instincts.

Golf's Ultimate Guide to Respectable Cheating is an illustrated satirical field guide for recreational golfers who love the game, value their friendships, and occasionally prefer emotional survival to strict accountability.

Mark Goldman, Ross Greenburg, and Michael Greenburg turn the unofficial habits of friendly golf into a complete comic philosophy. Mulligans become self-issued pardons. Gimmes protect pace and dignity. Point of Entry offers relief from water, woods, and inconvenient facts. Safety Drops preserve life and limb. And the scorecard finally receives the tool it has always needed: a pencil with an eraser.

Inside you will discover:
- The philosophy of Respectable Cheating
- The birth and proper use of the Mullie
- Point of Entry and Safety Drop calculations
- Short grass, sandy pits, out-of-bounds reasoning, and strategic amnesia
- Responsible slamming, shelling, and other forms of emotional maintenance
- Scorekeeping techniques that protect friendships and the human spirit

Part parody, part illustrated rulebook, and part love letter to the weekend golfer, this book is a memorable gift for golf buddies, dads, husbands, grandfathers, retirees, tournament players, and anyone who has ever said, "That one did not count."

The official rules protect the game. These rules protect the people playing it.
