Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-14 00:00:00 Michael Burwell In a recent sale at Freeman's an auction house in Philadelphia, a magnificent collection of P.G. Wodehouse material went under the hammer. His monogrammed pocket watch fetched over $8000.What would the master have thought of such ridiculous collecting mania? I had to go back and re-read the exchange in Fore! between two ex-con rival millionaires, Bradbury and Bott, locked in a death struggle over the finest English butler on Long Island, Blizzard. The quid pro quo for the butler? "The authentic baffy used by Bobby Jones in his first important contest - the Infant's All-In Championship of Atlanta, Georgia, open to those of both sexes not yet having finished teething." Here's the auction link. Even if you're not a Wodehouse nut, you'll enjoy the wonderful covers:

Review # 2 was written on 2008-05-16 00:00:00 Christy Hart So you misplaced your favorite mashie, broke your niblick over your knee in frustration over that last bogey, and the dog chewed up your baffy in the conservatory? Fear not! Even though your membership to St. Andrews may have been lost in the mail, you can still play along on that hallowed ground through the stories in this fabulous collection of the best golf short stories ever written. "Chester Forgets Himself" will lift your spirits and encourage you the next time you follow the Wrecking-Crew on your favorite course; and "The Coming of Gowf", possibly the most perfect short story about golf, ever, will encourage you to always "slow back and keep your e'e on the ba'!", whether on the course or in life. You don't have to be a golfer (or related to one!) to enjoy this terrific collection.
