Title: The golf omnibus
First published: 1973
Description: 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terrace of a variety of clubhouses, this venerable sage, who has not himself played golf since the rubber-cored ball superseded the old digniﬁed gutty.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.
