Leave it to a golf writer to come up with a bunch of stories that entertain, inform, and generally make you shake your head in wonder.
Club Life
The Games Golfers Play
Description
The golf club may be most commonly regarded as a place where men and women play that royal and ancient game, but truth be told, it also serves as a sort of Petri dish for some of the most outrageous, hysterical, and inane behavior found in modern society. You have hackers and stiffs. Flakes and dilettantes. Corporate big wigs and trust fund babies. They all exist in a kind of upper crust Animal House, where the denizens wear Burberry blazers instead of togas, and guzzle gin-and-tonics rather than beers. But the laughs, and the head shaking, are very much the same.

Reviews
Upholders of the traditions of golf, both on and off the course, will find enjoyment in John Steinbreder's knowing and funny Club Life.
His book may not improve your swing, but it will give you a better understanding of the things that really matter about the game, including the men's grill room, club governing committees, and the diminished presence of caddies to haul your sticks around the course.
John Steinbreder's collected essays are what The Federalist Papers were to the framing of the Constitution: a manifesto, a blueprint, a ringing summons-to-arms to the better angels of our golfing nature. For the golfer who really cares, a must!
