Confessions of a Golf Pro
The story of a golf professional trying to make it through life at a private club with 521 bosses, a Cougar nymphomaniac, one good member and a board president intent on his demise. This story follows the hilarious everyday life of a golf professional through lessons, committees, PGA section meetings, club rules, demo days and golf trips. Plus, the daily grind of trying to please over 500 members who complain to him about everything from the speed of the greens to the home owner’s association, along with hundred and one other things over which he has no control. At breaking point, he starts replying to emails and requests the way he’d really like to reply, which is a far cry from what they taught him at PGA business school! While the president’s intent to remove him, and install his son in law is relentless our pro has more tricks up his sleeve than the assistant pros who hide his inventory or the slick suits from the big management companies that think they can waltz in and steal his job. Success is always the best revenge!

Andrew Wood was born in Oxford, England, and grew up in the midland county of Shropshire. He immigrated to the United States in 1980 to pursue a career as a professional golfer.

And you thought being a club pro was all roses! This book is funny but unfortunately is close to the real life of a club pro. Very enjoyable

The Truth Hurts
Perhaps you will look at your club pro a little differently after reading this. It is easy to read and fun stories about the real life of a country club pro with dreams.

Quite Funny
Funny book that is closer to reality than most would think! Definitely needed a proofreader though... Several typos and misspelled names.
