The Heart of a Goof Author:P. G. Wodehouse "Golf is the Great Mystery. Like some capricious goddess, it bestows favors with what would appear an almost fat-headed lack of method and discrimination." These words, uttered by "The Oldest Member," set the stage for a romp around the greens only Wodehouse could have conjured up. In nine stories Wodehouse describes not only... more » the fates of the goofs who have allowed golf "to eat into their souls like some malignant growth" but also the impact of the so-called game on courtship, friendship, and business relationships. In addition to the title story, this volume includes "High Stakes," "The Magic Plus Fours," and "Rodney Fails to Qualify."
Now with a delightful new look, two collections of stories by P. G. Wodehouse, a "comic genius recognized in his lifetime as a classic and an old master of farce"(The Times [London])« less
Wodehouse not only wrote about Jeeves and Wooster and their dilettante world, he also wrote some really funny stuff about golfers and their equally dreamlike world. This is a book of golfing short stories.
