"All the great golf stories you've hoped to hear or read--and now you can." -- Dave Anderson, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist New York Times "Don's books do nothing for your short game, but they're a must read for golf fanatics who want to walk the walk and, more important, talk the talk." -- Matt Lauer, cohost of Today Don Wade tees it up again with another terrific collection of real-life stories from the greatest golfers ever to play the game. "And Then Fuzzy Told Seve . . ." brings together living legends, past champions, and current stars in one entertaining volume of true tales. You'll read about Amy Alcott's hilarious reenactment of Meg Ryan's classic restaurant scene from When Harry Met Sally . . . , the tragedy that changed Arnold Palmer's life, the late Ben Hogan's surprising sense of humor, and the inside story behind Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw's longtime rivalry. From Pebble Beach to Pine Valley, from Merion to Muirfield, this engaging collection truly captures the people, places, and spirit of the game. Don Wade, author of five bestselling collections of golf stories, has been covering professional golf and collecting true stories about the game since the 1970s. A former senior editor at Golf Digest, he has written books with Ken Venturi, Sam Snead, Amy Alcott, and Nancy Lopez. Paul Szep is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist.

Review:

First it was Jack telling Arnie, then Arnie telling Chi Chi, then Chi Chi telling Fuzzy, and now, in the fourth installment of golf's longest continuing comedies, it's Fuzzy's turn to pass on some of the game's funniest and most revealing anecdotes. These stories, whether they send-up top professionals or rank hackers, have a remarkable way of connecting golfers everywhere. Linked by the links, anyone who's ever had a realistic wager on a hole to keep things interesting will find no great leap to Winston Churchill's once betting the prime ministership of England on a single putt--and missing.
