The best golf writer on the planet returns with his funniest book ever.
Dan Jenkins virtually invented the golf novel with
Dead Solid Perfect
, his rollicking account of the life and times of touring pro Kenny Lee Puckett. After thirty years of waiting for the follow-up, Jenkins returns to the world of big-time golf in
The Money-Whipped Steer-Job Three-Jack Give-Up Artist
and finds a world where endorsements and course fashion matter more than the side bet. His hero, Bobby Joe Grooves, is a hell-raising two-iron-wielding rogue trying to turn his one annual tournament win and considerable Texas charm into a spot on the Ryder Cup team. Standing between Bobby Joe and his little spot of golf heaven are two ex-wives, a girlfriend, various pious PGA officials, and his embarrassing lack of a career major.
A book that will teach you more about golf history than any weepy sunset-over-the-eighteenth-green retrospective,
is an uproarious portrait of what it’s really like to play on the PGA Tour. It’s vintage Dan Jenkins.
