Don'ts for Golfers - Illustrated Edition by Ian Woosnam (Foreword by)

$19.99 AUD

Available Stock:
3

Category: SPORT

First published in 1925, this facsimile edition contains hundreds of entertaining tips for golfers of all ages and abilities. This pocket-sized facsimile edition contains hundreds of tips for golfers of all abilities. The advice, ranging from technique and fashion to etiquette on the course and in the C lub House, provides an entertaining snapshot of life in 1920s Britain. Handy tips include: Don't over-indulge yourself in eating and drinking during the non-golfing days, and then expect to work off excess by a good game of Golf. You may play Golf of sorts, but it will not be a good game. Don't make Golf your sole topic of conversation. There are a few otherwise quite intelligent persons who are non-golfers. You will never make converts if you bore non-players to distraction by for ever talking of the Royal and Ancient Game. Don't blame your clubs for faults of your own that may be easily corrected if you analyze your methods of using the implements. Don't keep up a running fire of conversation during the round. Golf is a game in which thought is necessary and silence is preferable to chatter. Don't irritate your opponent by wearing jazzy colors. To dazzle his eyes with a multi-colored pull-over or peace-disturbing golf stockings is to take a mean advantage. ...Show more

Cheat: The Not-So-Subtle Art of Conning Your Way to Sporting Glory by Titus O'Reily

$34.99 AUD

Available Stock:
3

Category: SPORT

Where there's sport, there's cheating. No sport is immune; athletics, swimming, rugby, American Football, cricket, baseball, badminton, motorsports, tennis and curling. Yes, even that sport on the ice with brooms. Almost as soon as humans started playing sport competitively, they started to cheat. They cheated to win, for the fame, for the money and sometimes for reasons that are hard to understand. From the fiendishly clever to the outright hare brained, the borderline to the blatant, Titus O'Reily takes us through the many and varied ways athletes and countries have tried to cheat over the years. There's the winner of the New York marathon who was driven in a car part of the way, the male basketballer whose drug test revealed he was pregnant, the Tour De France where many of the riders took the train, the Spanish Paralympic basketball team who faked being intellectually disabled to win gold at the 2000 Paralympics. As well as sharing an alarming amount of tales involving swapping bodily fluids, Titus takes you through doping, illegal equipment, bribes, playing dirty, faking injuries, wearing disguises, dodgy referees, ball tampering, eye gouging, itching powder, licking an opponent to distract them and sending a dwarf out to bat to shrink the strike zone. Just as sport has become more sophisticated, so has cheating in sport, from state backed doping programs to tiny motors in Tour De France bikes. What does this say about us, that we cheat with such regularity and creativity? Will technology help stop cheating or will it only make it worse? Mastering the not-so-subtle art of cheating is a hilarious trip through the history of cheating in sport, and a handy how-to-guide for the professional athlete in your family.       ...Show more
