5 out of 5 stars Must read for golfers and pros alike   November 10, 2006
This is an excellent look into the game and business of golf. Written in a humorous style, Behind the Green will ring true to anyone who has ever been in the business of golf. The portions of this book that deal with the business side of the game may seem outrageous to the player, but they are, if possible, understated. But anyone with a love of the game will enjoy this book.


5 out of 5 stars A fun book that is worth a read   May 3, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This fictitious "tongue-in-cheek" tale on the management of golf courses should appeal to non-golfers equally as much as it should to amateur and professional golfers alike.

The book is very well written and, even though it is fictitious, seems to give a very good insight into the highs and lows of golf course management (both on and off the course). The story appears to be written with a mixture of sincerity, joviality, friendly irreverence and with a light hearted touch of arrogance.

All in all, the book amused me to the point I couldn't put it down and, to me, that is the mark of a good book, isn't it?.

5 out of 5 stars Another woman's opinion....   December 7, 2003

Scott Simpson, the author of Behind the #$%*& Green, has managed golf courses since 1987. In 1991, two golf courses under his supervision were recognized by the University of Colorado's School of Business as the #1 and #7 most played courses in Colorado. In 1996, he was a featured speaker on Golf Course Management at the National Recreation and Parks Association's Annual Convention. As for each Scott's talent as a writer, buy their respective books and judge for yourself....
