Often biting, usually cranky, always hilarious and surprising—this is Dan
Jenkins at his best, writing about the sport he loves the most.
Dan Jenkins takes us on a tour of the links as only he can do it. Here, Dan
delves into the greatest rounds of golf he’s ever seen; the funniest things said
on a golf course; the rivalries on tour and in the press box; the game’s most
magical moments—and its most absurd. In thirty-eight essays, Jenkins gives
more about golf than most authors can muster in a lifetime. From well-known
characters like Tiger Woods, to others like Titanic Thompson—gambler, golf
hustler, accused murderer, legendary storyteller—Unplayable Lies is an ode to
the game of golf and the people who play it. But it is Dan Jenkins, so
nothing—even the game itself—can escape his wrath, his critical eye, or his
acerbic pen.
