Golf Nuts: You've Got to Be Committed Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition

by Ron Garland

In pathological putting circles, author Garland is known as the "Head Nut" of the Golf Nuts Society, an organization that he founded which now boasts a vast membership of "nuts, " and these are his favorite accounts from a group of seemingly normal people with an abnormal obsession.


First line

The first time I ever picked up a golf club, golf wasn't even on my mind.

From the jacket flap

Once bitten by the "golf bug," golfers are at the mercy of the game and its supernatural powers. "Golf Nuts: You've Got To Be Committed" is an outgrowth of the founding of the Golf Nuts Society in 1986 by author Ron Garland. It is an in-depth recounting of the founding of the Society and a glimpse into the mind of the man who started "the most unique golf association in the world." All golfers are at least a little nuts about the game, and because of that, every golfer will be able to relate to the zany antics of the members of the Golf Nuts Society. The book relates real stories about real members who are otherwise perfectly normal human beings. You will identify with them because you've done many of the same things as these self-professed "Golf Nuts."
