Russ Munson and 2 other people liked Glen's review of Three Angry Foursomes: Golf: The Unforgiving Game: "I won this book in a goodreads drawing. After short bios of the characters (which takes over half the book) we get a humorous story about golf, and the coutnry club where it is played. Amusing, and I don't even really play golf."

Russ Munson answered Karen's question: Hi Mr. Munson. My husband and I were just visiting Palm Springs all the way from NJ. We were having lunch at the restaurant in Mission Hills on Wednesday 3/5. I believe you were there too sitting across from us! You handed your book to a few of your gentlemen friends. As an avid reader, I wanted to ask if you wrote the book but I didn't want to intrude. Now I'm sorry I didn't approach you (if in fact it was you)? Hi Karen, Yes , I think that must have been me . Handing a lighthearted golf comedy fiction book I wrote to guys I golf with .
