Hank E. O'Panky's Little Black and Blue Book: Lesions and Tendinitis From a Life in Golf

ISBN: 0595098681

Author: Ormeaux, Paul Des

Condition: New

This hilarious spoof of the former bestseller Harvey Penicks Little Red Book not only satirizes his book but also hysterically lampoons a variety of contemporary topics, such as the legal system, the battles between the sexes, violence, the obsession with winning, and other human foibles. In OPankys own words: "Maybe a few short years ago...[Penicks] laid-back, namby-pamby, Liberace-like methods may have worked to some extent, but to succeed in a sport today, you need to be aggressive and physical, obnoxious and noisy, pesty and loutish." This timely book covers all the basic elements of golf, such as the mechanics of an effective swing, the mental aspects of the game, and "the importance of gastrointestinal noises during close matches." It will appeal to a wide range of readers: men, women, teens, and even aliens, such as Canadians and Martians.SURGEON GENERALS WARNING: Unlike those mildly and so-called humorous golf books you generally find on the bookshelf, this one may result in laugh-specific injuries.
