Loan, Charles E. Van. Fore! Third Printing. 1918. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—jacket shows a taped repair to the back cover. Foreword by Robert H. Davis.
“A golf course is an out-door insane asylum, peopled with madmen suffering from the delusion that they will finally master the game,” proclaims Robert H. Davis in the foreword to this book. That quip appropriately sets the tone for this collection of loosely connected short stories occurring on the golf course of the fictional Yavapai Country Club. Longtime golfers will easily relate to the foibles and frustrations experienced by purportedly fictional characters of this book, which the author, an early 20th Century sports humorist, brings vividly to life.
“In our club there is an unwritten law that no wife shall be partnered with her husband in a mixed-foursome match, because husbands and wives have a habit of saying exactly what they think about each other—a practice which should be confined to the breakfast table.”
--Charles E. Van Loan
