Product Description
As a longtime golfer, Jeff Foxworthy has learned something important about the grand auld game: It’s not who has the highest score, it’s who has the least fun playing it. And now, in his hilarious primer How to Really Stink at Golf, Foxworthy shares his invaluable tips for a lifetime of horrible drives and putts.• Get into the right frame of mind to play truly awful golf. Food poisoning or a killer hangover might be just the ticket to a robust three-digit score.• Try to get to the course promptly at tee time to avoid the hassle of warming up: “You’re only gonna hit five good shots in the course of the day; why waste even one on the driving range?”• The surefire way to screw up a great drive? As you walk to the tee, keep telling yourself, “Don’t screw up your drive.” If bad golf’s your goal, stress is your best friend.• Avoid fun. “Fun = relaxed = low scores . . . and that’s something we want to avoid at all cost. If you have a good hole, shake it off.”• Perhaps the most important element: Embrace the fact that you do stink at golf. Cheating. Cursing. Avoiding fairways. Reckless cart driving. How to Really Stink at Golf covers it all, from selecting the correct putter to use on a 385-yard drive to prolonging your stay in the sand trap to picking the perfect foursome for spectacularly bad golf (“you, your ex-wife, your girlfriend, your wife”). With Jeff Foxworthy as your guide, even a scratch golfer can add ten, twenty, maybe thirty strokes to his or her score–and possibly more if you attempt to play the back nine, too.

KICKBACKS , Goodbye Vicarage Road


Last week pop star Elton John announced he had resigned as life president from Watford FC saying he was disillusioned with the running of the club and warning of a potential "catastrophe".
"There is a danger of it plummeting into freefall," he warned.
This does not appear to be simply one of the rock star's periodic tantrums. Watford have recently slipped to near the foot of the Championship, their promising manager Adrian Boothroyd has been dismissed and things certainly look bleak for the Hertfordshire club.
It is a sad time for all Watford supporters and Elton, who has a genuine love for the club. He has been a fan since he was seven years old and says he will remain a supporter.
Although he is resigning from what is an honorary role, his departure will definitely have an impact, especially on older fans who appreciate what he has done for the club.
It looks like the end of a 32-year-old affair with the club which he transformed when he took it over and became chairman back in 1976.
At that time Watford were a struggling Fourth Division side that had never experienced any real sort of fame throughout their history. They were in danger of slipping into oblivion.
Elton's first big move was to sign up Graham Taylor as manager and the future England boss was an immediate success as the Hornets ran away with the title in 1978. .bigsack,>by Nobby Piles>>More
