Helpful Score: 2
A sometimes funny look at the LPGA tour through the eyes of a sportswriter following the latest teenage phenom. Jenkins has written much better and this one feels a bit like he tossed it off in a few hotel nights while following the tour himself. The characters lack the depth he has given his characters in earlier novels and run towards stock caricatures. Nevertheless, quite funny in parts and a quick easy read good for a few laughs at the beach or between rounds at the club.

I read this in one afternoon. Wonderfully wry funny stuff....if you follow golf it very topical. Good light reading.
