AlbakiReads Editorial

Golf’s stories, rivalries, and absurdities

Dan Jenkins’s collection brings together golf stories about notable rounds, on-course remarks, tour and press-box rivalries, and moments the description calls both magical and absurd. Its cast ranges from Tiger Woods to Titanic Thompson, a gambler and golf hustler also known as a storyteller. The book treats golf not only as competition but as a world shaped by its players, personalities, and lore, while Jenkins’s critical eye extends to the game itself. The result is a portrait of golf that makes room for admiration and irreverence alike.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Golf fans interested in the sport’s history, personalities, and lore
  • Readers who enjoy sports writing centered on anecdotes and rivalries
  • Those curious about golf’s comic and less-solemn side

Book overview

In Unplayable Lies, Dan Jenkins takes us on a tour of the links as only he can do it. Here, Dan delves into the greatest rounds of golf he's ever seen, the funniest things said on a golf course, the rivalries on tour and in the press box, the game's most magical moments--and its most absurd. Filled with well-known characters like Tiger Woods, to others like Titanic Thompson--gambler, golf hustler, accused murderer, legendary storyteller--Unplayable Lies is an ode to the game of golf and the people who play it. But it is Dan Jenkins, so nothing--even the game itself--can escape his wrath, his critical eye, or his acerbic pen. This is Dan Jenkins at his best, writing about the sport he loves the most.
