Introduced in Dan Jenkinss previous uproarious novel of the pro golf tour, The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist, Bobby Joe Grooves is now forty-four and still without a win in a major championship. A student of golf lore, Bobby Joe is well aware that only a small group of stars have ever won a major at his age or older, and among them are such immortals as Nicklaus, Boros, Irwin, and Trevino. Its now or never for Bobby Joe, and excuse him for thinking that his chances are slim and none.So its off to the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and the rest of the PGA Tour for Bobby Joe, whos leaving behind the prospect of a third ex-wife. On the golf courses hell face familiar competitors such as Knut Thorssun and Cheetah Farmer, but the rival who may loom the largest is the games newest child star, nineteen-year-old Scott Pritchard. His talents are the talk of the Tour-so is his arrogance-and so, by the way, is his stunning mom, Gwendolyn, a shapely adorable woman who captures Bobby Joes full attention and threatens not to let go.Long revered by his peers as one of the worlds best sportswriters, and beloved by readers for such classics as Semi-Tough and Dead Solid Perfect, Dan Jenkins is at the top of his form in Slim and None. Its packed with authentic insider gems about each of the majors and hilarious sketches of many of the characters-touring pros, officials, media, agents, caddies, and ladies-who inhabit this outrageous and endearing world of sports.
