Leslie Nielson's Stupid Little Golf Book

More about the book

Leslie Nielsen, best known as Lieutenant Frank Drebin from the Naked Gun films, is also celebrated among golfers as the World's Greatest Bad Golfer. Collaborating with humorist Henry Beard, Nielsen has created a unique collection of humorous insights and absurd tips in the Stupid Little Golf Book. This work is crafted to resemble a serious study of golf but offers no tedious drills or complex instructions. Instead, it provides straightforward advice on how to navigate the game with cunning and charm, alongside amusing anecdotes of questionable sportsmanship. From basics like grip technique to a "Foolproof Way to Knock at Least Six Strokes off Your Score" (which humorously suggests skipping the last hole), this book is a lighthearted take on golf for the average player. Nielsen, a beloved actor with a wealth of film credits, is recognized for his memorable mishaps on the golf course, including infamous shots like "The Shank Heard Round the World" and the "hole-in-none." With this book, he brings joy back to the game, making it accessible and entertaining for all. Henry Beard, a National Lampoon founder, has also contributed to the humor genre with several bestselling titles related to golf.
