The Kiss That Caused My Slice

With Father’s Day fast approaching, are you scrambling to find your special golfer a good gift?  Well, you’re in luck!  I was a lucky recipient of The Kiss That Caused My Slice: A Book of Poems by John Ducker.

Okay, when I first heard about this I was like, “A book of golf poems, uhhhhhh, hmmmmm….” [insert weird facial expression].  When I got the book and read through a few of the poems though, I found myself chuckling at the funny parts and relating Ducker’s stories to my own game and my own experiences.  Being an avid reader, reading through this book was a nice change of pace from the usual “how to fix your golf game” book.  Light and refreshing.

Here’s a few lines from “Hole Countdown”:

The first hole is always rough on me, it’s hard to find a groove,
My moving parts stay stationary, whily my steady parts all move.
The second hole is usually wasted in anger over number one,
And by the third hole I’ll quit keeping score and “only play for fun.”

I also found a few interesting reviews on Amazon too:

“A great golf book that captures the spirit of the game.”

“This book is a must gift for any golfer, for anyone who lives with or wants to live with a golfer, perhaps for anyone who wants convincing to move out from a golfer, and for anyone who wants to do a golfer a great favor.”
