About The Author

John Niven was born in Irvine, Ayrshire. He is the author of ten novels and has written for a wide range of publications, including a weekly column for the Scottish Sunday Mail. He lives in Buckinghamshire.

Believe it or not, this novel makes golf look interesting. Trust me. This is a writer who could wring laughs out of pretty well anything… Hilarious

Other text

Screamingly funny…beneath the rough surface of effing and blinding lies a surprisingly sweet story of family, friendship and romance….uproarious entertainment…Unlike the amateurs in his plot, Niven's prose is executed with the comic timing of a pro. He gets the golf right, and just about everything else too
