Description

About this book

“A Line o’ Gowf or Two” by Bert Leston Taylor is a collection of humorous essays and light verse about golf written in the early 20th century. The book uses wit, anecdote, and playful satire to explore the quirks and obsessions of golfers, with an affectionate but gently mocking tone. The opening of the book includes a foreword and introduction, establishing Taylor’s reputation as a skilled writer whose interest in golf developed relatively late. The introductory essays reflect on the nature of golfing improvement, the quirks of golfers, the endless stream of advice surrounding the game, and Taylor's enjoyment as both participant and observer. The main portion that follows is a lively mix of short reflections, jokes, and playful poetry about golf, blending technical musings with whimsical character sketches and gentle lampooning of golfing culture.
