At the top of his game June 6, 2008
Professor Minan is the Tiger Woods of the literary field of golf. This terrific read is informative, entertaining, and provides great insight into the game's rules. Many of the examples used to illustrate the rules of golf are so intriguing they could only be real life occurences. Exquisitely written, this book captured my interest from beginning to end. This book is a must read for golfers and non golfers alike. A true sports classic.
A game for ladies and gentlemen January 8, 2008
Professor Minan has delivered the coup de gras for those "boors" we all have encountered on the beloved golf course. Golf is indeed a game of honor and self discipline, a virtue seemingly vanishing from the American landscape. This tome is an interesting corollary to another attorney's book, "The Death of Common Sense", by Philip K. Howard. A little common courtesy and respect in many cases is all that is needed. Professor Minan has delivered a humorous and true revelation as to the infringement on decency and respect for the game. Highly recommended.
Great read December 27, 2007
This book is an instant classic, a must have. I never had more fun learning the rules of a game than I did when I read this book. I now have a few extra stories to tell my fellow golfers while on the course.
Answers to Golfing Questions We All Wanted to Ask a lawyer. November 14, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A great read. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It answers many of the questions I always wondered about the game of golf. The book is written for a general audience, not lawyers, but will provide invaluable stories to repeat at the 19th hole. Few golfers will ever walk onto a golf course again without being reminded of the legalities of the game if they read this book.
The literary device the author uses to make this book so readable is a collection of nineteen actual legal court cases crafted into nineteen short stories presented in a style that O'Henry would have enjoyed. These cases track the 18 holes typically played in a "stipulated round" of golf, and a story for the favorite "hole 19" of all golfers. I ordered four more copies for my family of golfers. A great Christmas gift. Howard Graham
