  'Bob Hopes swing? I've seen better swings on a condemned playground.' Bing Crosby 'When I left the course after a round this year, a lady told me my biorhythms were off. I told her my golf game was off'. Jack Nicklaus. The Golf Fanatic is a rich compendium of golf quotes that reflects the history, tradition, agony and ecstasy of the game. Included here are words of wisdom (and despair!) from some of the game's most famous practitioners - both professionals and weekenders. The cast includes such great golfers as Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, Harry Vardon, Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus and Ian Woosnam, but also writers such as Marcel Proust and F Scott Fitzgerald, and famous enthusiasts including Bing Crosby, Winston Churchill, Bob Hope and John D Rockerfeller. This is the ideal golf companion for all enthusiasts to carry in their bags, whatever their handicap. Robert McCord is the author of The Best Public Golf Courses in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico, and numerous other golf books. His articles have appeared in Golf Magazine, Golf Digest and Golf for Women.
