 A better title would be, Whining, Wimpering, and Complaining May 25, 1999
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book has nothing to do with breaking 80. In fact the author never does. He goes on and on and on and on (get the idea) about all of his golfing difficulties. It is very depressing to listen to such whining, wimpering, and complaining. I personally have learned to shoot in the low to mid 80's in the last year and a half by hard work and keeping a positive attitude. This book will NOT help your game in any way, shape, or form. If anything it will hurt your game by being so absoultely negative. If I could rate this book in the negative star rating catagory that is where it would be. Unfortunatley the lowest rating is one star so that's what I gave it. Worst book on golf I ever read. Do NOT buy this book unless you just want someone to reinforce how much of a failure you can make of yourself.
 Would not recommend May 11, 1999

I didn't even realize the book had completed. I was waiting for another chapter. Maybe about a round where the author had a chance to actually break eighty or maybe did break eigthy. At one point on side 4 I thought I was getting a repeat of side 3. Was not satisfied with this book.
 EVERY HACKER WILL SEE HIMSELF IN HIS GOLF JOURNEY. February 24, 1998
TWO OF THE BEST AND MOST DELIGHTFUL BOOKS I'VE READ ON GOLFING ARE: BREAKING EIGHTY AND DAVID OWEN'S "MY USUAL GAME. I WILL RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO MY BEST (GOLFING) FRIENDS. I FOUND MYSELF LAUGHING OUT LOUD THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. HE HAS CAPTURED THE THOUGHTS, FRUSTRATIONS AND FANTASIES OF EVERY WEEKEND GOLFER. WE ALL THINK WE CAN BUY OUR "NEW" GAME. LEE EISENBERG IS AN EXCELLENT WRITER. HE CAPTURES THE CRAZINESS OF ALL US HACKERS. EACH OF US WILL SEE OURSELVES IN HIS MANY EXPERIENCES AND FRUSTRATIONS. I HOPE HIS BOOK MAKES A LOT OF MONEY SO THAT HE CAN PAY FOR ALL THE LESSONS, NEW EQUIPMENT AND GREENS FEES.
Great book for middle-aged hackers February 12, 1998

This is a wonderful book that captures the love and frustration of most amateur golfers. The writing is clever and quite readable. The best Christmas present I received this year.Lou Rovner
Hackers, take heart! June 7, 1997
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Join Lee Eisenberg in his futile and funny quest for a hacker's Holy Grail, i.e. that magic key, new gadget, or golf guru that turns it all around for us and gives us a respectable game in no time.Many of us have been down that same frustrating road in pursuit of golfing nirvana, and the author helps us make peace with ourselves by his commentary on the learning process. A must for every golf library
