The Heart of a Goof

A Golf collection

From his favourite chair on the terrace above the ninth hole, The Oldest Member tells a series of hilarious golfing stories. From Evangeline, Bradbury Fisher’s fifth wife and a notorious ‘golfing giggler’, to poor Rollo Podmarsh whose game was so unquestionably inept that ‘he began to lose his appetite and would moan feebly at the sight of a poached egg’, the game of golf, its players and their friends and enemies are here shown in all their comic glory. One of Wodehouse’s funniest books, The Heart of Goof is a collection of peerlessly comic short stories.

The greatest chronicler of a certain kind of Englishness that no one else has ever captured quite so sharply, or with quite as much wit and affection'
