Golf is a four-letter word, the intimate confessions of a hooked slicer by Armour_ Richard
Like how he practices as a young man using the neighbor's sprinklers holes.
Story follows him when he leaves for college. Like abc's of golf terms.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
