The Golfer’s Excuse Handbook: Golfertainment for Good and Bad Golfers (Funny Golf Gift for Men and Women)
Do you have a friend or family member who loves golf?
Better yet, do you know the frustration and hilarity that comes with trying to play this beautiful sport?
Everyone who has experienced the game of golf understands that it can be frustrating, unfair, and embarrassing to play. Sometimes, if you are the sad individual who hit a poor shot, you might be tempted to provide an excuse to your playing partners. A good excuse can relieve the tension, and maybe even bring a few laughs.
Sometimes, though, an excuse can be hilarious just by its lack of credulity. A golfer can chalk their bad shot up to anything, absolutely anything, and that’s when the excuse becomes a funny moment. Golfers share these stories with their friends, and it’s not the shot they remember, only the hilarious excuse.
The Golfer’s Excuse Handbook contains 250 excuses on a range of subjects all over the golf course, and a few that extend beyond the links!
- Five different chapters, one for each group of excuses and the topics likely to draw a golfer’s ire.
- Each chapter features interesting golf history and trivia, as well!
- There are also entertaining golf quotes from players, world leaders, and other well-known individuals within these pages.
- Chapter subjects include the golf course itself, a golfer’s playing partners, and the weather!
This book will entertain any fan of the game, from those who watch the pros to anyone who dares to swing a club. Perhaps this book can start a conversation with friends and family members about who has the worst excuses on the course, or who has said the most outrageous line in a moment of shame.
Maybe there’s a golfer in your life that needs help with their excuse game! This book can also serve any golfer with a ton of ideas on how to deflect the embarrassment of that bad shot. And, if you have someone in your life who is particularly unskilled, they may need multiple excuses to make it through a round!
This book is bound to bring a smile to anyone who has experienced the struggle of golf. It will make readers smile, laugh out loud, and most importantly, appreciate the joy and pain that is the game of golf.
Grab a copy of The Golfer’s Excuse Handbook and tee up the fun today!

No Reserve: The brand new 2023 thriller from the master of the racing blockbuster
Theo Jennings is a young auctioneer at the Thoroughbred sales ring in Newmarket. The October yearling sales are where the big money exchanges hands in frenzied auctions: millions of Guineas paid for horses that are as yet unnamed, untested, and have never taken a step on the track. It’s the greatest gamble in all of horseracing, and one that can end in ruin.Theo has just made the biggest sale of his life, when he overhears a secret conversation between the two bidders – can they really have colluded to fix the price of his big sale? When that same horse is found dead the next morning, he has no choice but to investigate, even against the wishes of his boss. But the more he uncovers, the less he can trust the people around him.
The higher the stakes, the greater the risk. And in the bloodstock game, the ultimate price can be murder.

Seabiscuit: Three Men and a Racehorse
From the author of Unbroken – a major motion picture releasing in 2015 – this is the bestselling true story of three men and their dreams for a racehorse, Seabiscuit.
In 1938 one figure received more press coverage than Mussolini, Hitler or Roosevelt. He was a cultural icon and a world-class athlete – and an undersized, crooked-legged racehorse by the name of Seabiscuit.
Misunderstood and mishandled, Seabiscuit had spent seasons floundering in the lowest ranks of racing until a chance meeting of three men. Together, they created a champion. This is a story which topped the bestseller charts for over two years; a riveting tale of grit, grace, luck and an underdog’s stubborn determination to win against all odds.
Made into a major motion picture starring Toby Maguire and Jeff Daniels.

Crazy Lawsuit Stories: Discover 101 of The Most Bizarre, Hilarious, and Mind-Boggling Lawsuits Ever!
A significant advantage of a democratic government, like that in the U.S., is a well-established judicial system. It gives citizens the opportunity to seek justice through the courts. However, the drawback is that some people use this opportunity to file cases that are strange, outlandish, and so absurd that they leave onlookers shaking their heads. Crazy Lawsuit Stories compiles a collection of such stories for your entertainment and pondering.
Readers can expect to find comical, concerning, and frivolous lawsuits within these pages.
Some of these include:
- The man who sued a bear
- The kidnapper who sued his hostages
- Well-known cases that became urban legend
- A teacher afraid of children
- And so much more!
Some of these lawsuits are indeed outrageously weird, but to the plaintiffs, they sought justice for what they believed was right. This book was designed to entertain its readers with these strange cases that saw their day in court.

Knowledge is power – we’ve all heard that before and seen it proven right. Because of this, learning a bit of history can help us not make the same mistakes in the future. History, after all, is one big series of lessons we can apply to our present to avoid repeating the biggest errors ever made.
The main problem is that sometimes history can get… kind of boring (sorry, historians!). But we’re changing that for good.
Divided into 54 incredibly engaging and well-told stories representing the biggest and most influential events that have taken place throughout modern history, The Encyclopedia of Very Important Events Through Modern History compiles humorous, inspiring, tragic and even disastrous stories that shaped the world to become – for better or for worse – what we know it as today.
Discover the truth that led to the most massive events in history, such as:
- Isaac Newton and his apple – you know the story, right? But what if I told you the whole tale was a LOT more complex than simply a falling fruit?
- You may be aware that WWI began with an assassination, but did you know that it was a wrong turn by a driver that set the stage for the world’s second bloodiest war? Yikes!
- And we all know how messy a divorce can get… but what about a divorce that caused a literal religious war across an entire nation and set half the country on fire… literally!
This book will help you unlock the entire truth behind the largest events in history so get ready; it’s a fascinating read.

Follow Your Leader: The memoir of a Newmarket trainer
The fifty-year career of Gavin Pritchard-Gordon in Newmarket, the Headquarters of British Racing, proved to be as exciting a ride as those provided by his many winning horses. This caught the author as much by surprise as anyone else. The opportunity to train racehorses was offered to Pritchard-Gordon somewhat out of the blue by the legendary trainer Harvey Leader.
Pritchard-Gordon grabbed at the chance to follow in Mr Leader’s footsteps. He never looked back as a life in Racing took him to many a Winners’ Enclosure and the country’s grandest houses, all the while having great fun with the top names of Racing, past and present.Foreword by Brough Scott
“A stylish homage to Newmarket this memoir is deliciously indiscreet, full of humorous anecdotes that will make the reader laugh out loud. It cleverly exposes some of racing’s shibboleths while retaining the author’s innate decency and humanity. A must read for the racing aficionado.”
Author and journalist Colin Mackenzie.About the author:
Racing has been Gavin Pritchard-Gordon’s life, ever since he first came to Newmarket in 1966 to be a pupil trainer with the greatly respected Harvey Leader – one of the very few people to have trained both a Classic and a Grand National winner. He spent similar spells as Assistant to Peter Walwyn in Lambourn, and Stuart Murless, on the Curragh, before returning to Newmarket, and taking over the trainer’s license from Harvey Leader, at Shalfleet, in 1972.
The best horses Pritchard-Gordon trained on the Flat were Group 1 winners Noalcoholic, Ardoon and Record Run – but one of his most exciting moments came when King Pele, ridden by the intrepid David Nicholson, triumphed in the Gloucester Hurdle (now the Sun Alliance) at the Cheltenham Festival in 1973.
Pritchard-Gordon stopped training in 1995, spending a year at BHB in Portman Square before becoming Chief Executive of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association In Newmarket. He held that position for fourteen years, prior to being appointed Executive Chairman of British Bloodstock Marketing, and then retiring in 2010. Since then Pritchard-Gordon has remained closely involved with all aspects of the Racing and Breeding Industry worldwide.Read more
