    About this ebook

    This book is for the golfer who just enjoys getting out with friends once or twice a week for a round of golf and for the golfer whose skills may need improvement. Basically, this book is for every non-pro golfer who plays the game because, as we know, golf never ceases to frustrate. The author, Mike Pavlik, wrote If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book to deliver the message that it’s all right to be a duffer. In other words, it’s fine if you don’t burn up the course and you don’t play like Fred Couples or Jack Nicklaus. If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book encourages fellow golfers to be honest in evaluating their game, even if their skill levels are subpar. Building on his own experiences, Mike Pavlik highlights that although golf is a sport and a competition, a bad round should not mean a bad day, nor should it discourage us from enjoying a day with friends and exploring the great outdoors.

    If You’re a Duffer, You’re OK in My Book includes a description of experiences and definitions describing a duffer, plus a round-by-round depiction of a duffer (the author himself) and how he plays and approaches each hole. While this book won’t make you a better golfer, at least not in the sense of lower scores, it will help you enjoy each round a little more, even if you don’t break a hundred. A section of the book allows you to record the memorable shots and best efforts that you have already achieved.

    Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sportsbooks about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.
