“Golf is like a love affair,” Arthur Daley once said. “If you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart.” For anyone who has ever had his or her heart broken over the course of eighteen holes, here’s the cure.

Golf Without Tears showcases short fiction by such masters of the genre as P.G. Wodehouse, John Updike and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Rounded out with quips and tips from the likes of Bob Hope, Lee Trevino, George Plimpton, Robin Williams and Bill Murray, Golf Without Tears is an irresistible gift book for anyone who loves the game of golf—a perfect gift book as well as a lively companion for those times when golfers can only read about their favorite pastime, not pursue it.
