The Heart of a Goof

The Heart of a Goof by P.G. Wodehouse  256 pp.

If you don't know anything about golf this book may bewilder and bore you since all the stories are centered around the game, various eccentric players, their romances, marriages, relationships, and their mishaps on the links. The characters are all quintessential Wodehouse in their foibles and oddly touching characterizations. Whether it is a young man trying to impress a young woman but going about it entirely the wrong way to a married man who bets away the faithful family butler in a round of golf, these tales of the Edwardian upper crust are amusing, once you get past all the golf talk. While this is far from my favorite, I am still a devoted Wodehouse fan.
