[by] P. G. Wodehouse

Amongst the many memorable characters P. G. Wodehouse has created is The Oldest Member, who, full of reverence for the sacred game of golf. tells some of the most hilarious stories about it In all its literature. Not that the narrator regarded golf as a suitable subject for levity—far from it. Seated on the terrace of a variety of clubhouses, this venerable sage, who has not himself played golf since the rubber-cored ball superseded the old dignified gutty. hears the confidences of the members, young and old, listens to their problems, watches over their love affairs, and philosophises on all aspects of the great game—never failing to point a moral with recollectlons out-rivalling those of the late Baron Munchausen. These stories. all thirty-one of them. are now collected together for the first time In one volume To those to whom golf is an ambition. an obsession, or a way of life. this book is a gloriously funny must. It will not less enchant those without the pale as an irresistible example of the Wodehouse genius.

"When pro baseball player Chase Walker first meets Amanda at her restaurant, it's love at first sight. While Amanda can't help noticing the superstar with the Greek-god-build, he doesn't have a chance of getting to first--or any other--base with her. A successful entrepreneur who's built her business from scratch, Amanda doesn't need a Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet. And a curvy girl who likes to cook and eat isn't interested in being around the catty, stick-thin herd of females chasing Chase and his teammates. But Chase isn't about to strike out. A man who isn't interested in playing the field, he's a monogamist who wants an independent woman like Amanda. His hopes rally when she discovers that squeaky-clean Chase has a few sexy and very secret pre-game rituals that turn the smart, headstrong businesswoman on--and into his number one fan. Then a tabloid discovers the truth and turns their spanking good fun into a late- night punchline. Is Amanda ready to let loose and swing for the fences? Or will the pressure of Chase's stardom force them to call it quits?"--
