The Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport by Carl Hiaasen
5.0
Background: I'm a big time golfer, but have had insane difficulty in learning the sport and playing well.
I don't know anything about Carl Hiaasen and his previous books. What I do know is this book speaks to anyone who's had a remote difficulty with the game. So many of his stories were practically my autobiography with the sport of golf, despite my 30 years of age difference between myself and the author. I laughed out loud more times than I can remember during this book.
This book is the real Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul. I'm sure most golfers can relate with Carl's experiments, including buying new clubs, the latest gimmics, reading Dr. Bob Rotella, taking many lessons... anything to find that Holy Grail of playing great golf.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has become frustrated with golf at ANY point in time.
