Tongue firmly in cheek, Dave Donelson tells some of the strangest stories in golf. Like the grudge match at Pebble Beach between Superman and Batman. Meet the golf pro who sold his soul to the devil and the werewolf who makes a run at the Grand Slam. And don't forget the guy who can cure your slice if you'll only let him bite your neck. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even throw up your dinner, but Weird Golf will make you think twice about teeing it up at twilight. Golf has so much more to offer than hushed fairways and perfectly-trimmed greens. For golfers with open and slightly-twisted minds, there are also blue gnomes that read putts, ghosts with golf tips, and witches you never, ever want to play through. These 18 stories by veteran golf writer Dave Donelson will help you push aside your long-drive ego, peel back your putter-shaking id, and expose the goofy golfer deep inside.

As Time Goes By - When a golf fanatic enters a time warp, he leaves behind more than a golf widow.
Veteran golf writer Dave Donelson experienced weird golf for the first time as a 12-year-old caddie at a ragged muni just three blocks from his home in Missouri. Like all golfers, he revels in the game and curses it, celebrates the small victory of an all-too-infrequent perfect shot and rages against the golf gods who often flick a birdie putt off-line just inches from the hole. As executive editor of Westchester Magazine Golf, he reviews courses, equipment, and golf destinations, writes about golfers at all levels of the game, and keeps an eye out for the stranger things that happen on the golf course.
