Bad Golf My Way
From the bestselling coauthors of Leslie Nielsen's Stupid Little Golf Book comes another book of hilarious and worthless golf wisdom--a parody of the classic golf instruction book, Jack Nicklaus's Golf My Way.
There are twenty-five million golfers in North America who buy millions of copies of golf instruction books annually. But until now, all of those books shared one fatal flaw--they were written for the 2,450 golfers who actually play halfway decent golf and just want to get that annoying 79 down to a respectable 72.
Now, at last, Leslie Nielsen, the World's Greatest Bad Golfer, has produced a golf instruction book for the 24,997,550 rest of us--the legion of hopeless duffers and terminal hackers who know in their heart of hearts that no matter how much they practice, no matter what new tip they follow, no matter what foolproof method they embrace, they are never going to improve.
Covering everything from the Inside-Way-Out Swing to the Magic Move that lets you hit the ball 110 yards with any club in the bag, and lavishly illustrated with photographs of the Master himself, Bad Golf My Way demonstrates Leslie Nielsen's deeply flawed swing style and curious course-playing strategies that have earned him the coveted title, "The Arnold Palmer of Bad Golf."

About the author
Leslie Nielsen
17 books9 followersLeslie William Nielsen, OC, was a Canadian and naturalized American actor and comedian. Nielsen appeared in more than one hundred films and 1,500 television programs over the span of his career, portraying more than 220 characters. Nielsen enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and worked as a disc jockey before receiving a scholarship to Neighborhood Playhouse. Making his television debut in 1948, he quickly expanded to over 50 television appearances two years later. Nielsen made his film debut in 1956, and began collecting roles in dramas, westerns, and romance films. Nielsen's performances in the films Forbidden Planet (1956) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972) received positive reviews as a serious actor, though he is primarily known for his comedic roles.
Although Nielsen's acting career crossed a variety of genres in both television and films, his deadpan delivery in Airplane! (1980) marked a turning point in his career, one that would make him, in the words of film critic Roger Ebert, "the Olivier of spoofs." Nielsen enjoyed further success with The Naked Gun film series (1988 – 1994), based on a short-lived television series Police Squad! in which he starred earlier. His portrayal of serious characters seemingly oblivious to (and complicit in) their absurd surroundings gave him a reputation as a comedian. In the final years of his career, Nielsen appeared in multiple spoof and parody films, many of which were met poorly by critics, but performed well in box office and home media releases. Nielsen married four times and had two daughters from his second marriage. He was recognized with a variety of awards throughout his career, and was inducted into the Canada and Hollywood Walks of Fame.

This book is funny from start to finish! Teaches basics of playing golf, but with its humorous approach and hilarious illustrations, this book can be read by non-golfers as well.
