AlbakiReads Editorial Golf, Infidelity, and Escalating Obsession
Golf, Infidelity, and Escalating Obsession
John Niven turns the competitive world of golf into the setting for a crime-tinged comic novel about infidelity and male obsession. The book links the rituals and pressures surrounding the game with increasingly extreme behavior, using golf’s small white ball as a focal point for rivalry, compulsion, and bad decisions. Its subject matter combines sport, sex, violence, and outrageous conduct, placing it firmly in adult satirical territory rather than straightforward sports fiction.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in crime fiction with a golf-world setting
- Fans of adult comic fiction centered on rivalry and infidelity
- Readers seeking an outrageous satire of competitive male behavior

"Hilarious."
-- The Times (London)
"A novel about golf that is not only hilarious, but gripping, sexy, violent, and outrageous. . . . Niven combines his increasingly bizarre plots, and some shocking behavior, with considerable skill and, of course, large helpings of humor."
-- The Mirror
From Kill Your Friends author John Niven, The Amateurs is a side-splitting and whip-smart examination of golf, infidelity, and how little white balls make some men insane.
