What a great book November 9, 2005
Golf Happens is one of two books I have read written by Rick. This book is hysterical! I am not much of a reader but when I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. I have read the book twice and each time I have found something useful, from driving to putting to long irons to wedges. If you want to take a few strokes off the card, I highly suggest you read this book.
A very well written book!

I really enjoyed this book. I am a new golfer and I found this book very informative. It provides the reader the history of the game. It also provides information and ideas to help your game. It has drills and techniques the reader can use to better their individual enjoyment and skill of the game. Much of the ideas are presented in a humorous way which helps in the readers retention. The author also shares some individual stories about when he was a golf club pro which are very entertaining as well as informative. I highly recommend this book. It is quick and worthwhile read!
Best golf read available June 13, 2000
Don't be fooled by the title! In Rick Graves book "Golf Happens", golf doesn't just happen, it comes alive with antedotes, insight and instruction. While I found the author's insights on the trials and tribulations of running a private golf club facinating reading, I was equally impressed by the golf instruction. Since reading Rick Graves' book I dropped my handicap from a 14 to a 9 following a couple of his tips. This alone makes it a great buy. I'd like to see him do a guest spot on the Golf Channel. It would be a great show. Get the book. It's worth the time.
Fun Read February 16, 2000
I'm Rick's son, and I just wanted to make a few comments about Golf Happens. The book is a very witty look at my father's life as a pro golfer. The book even offers a few cutting-edge tips on lowering your score. Rick has worked for Nicklaus, taught at PGA academies, and played on the Asian tour. The man is a walking Golf Encyclopedia. So, if you want a few laughs and enjoy humorous tales of golf antics, get this book!
