Golf:Naked the bare essentials

Has anyone read a new book called Golf:Naked the bare essentials?
This new book by Greg Rowley is one of the best new golf books I have read in a long time. It has nothing to do with golfing naked, it's contents are very funny and informational. If you have a chance to read it, you must!

Welcome Mark, I'll look out for it.  IS it a memoir or instructional or something else?

Glad to see you hadn't missed out "O/T" on your first post ;D.

The author has an interesting blog:

I just saw another book of interest( Naked on the First Tee) for new women golfers:

"Some of us worship in churches, some in synagogues, some on golf courses ... "  Adlai Stevenson
Hyman Roth to Michael Corleone: "We're bigger than US Steel."
Ben Hogan “The most important shot in golf is the next one”

Local golf professional Greg Rowley left a very prestigous job at a high end country club to write this book. The book is very witty, loaded with humor. For a golf professional, I got alot of laughs out loud. For the beginning player, it actually answers alot of questions in an easy to read format. I think that anyone who reads it will relate to the stories and maybe learn something new as well.
