Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was a master of English prose, whose works usually reflected his early life experiences in pre-war English upper-class society, and were typically characterized by the trials and tribulations of the well-to-do. "The Clicking of Cuthbert" is a collection of ten short stories, published in London in 1922, and in the United States in 1924 under the name "Golf Without Tears". The first story introduces the Oldest Member, who will narrate all but the final tale, and who has spent most of his life playing golf. In typical Wodehouse style, these heartfelt stories are sure to bring a smile to everyone who reads them.

P.G. Wodehouse turns his keen eye and sharp wit upon golf, with a series of enlightening and amusing tales. This is a not-to-be-missed volume that will tickle any golfer, at any level of play. Wodehouse skewers every convention of the game, and tackles every fairway foible: the tee-talker, the green-gabbler, the prattler on the links, cheaters, temper, luck, betting, and golf-lawyers! And, since it's Wodehouse, there are the usual comic romantic entanglements that threaten the status quo. Topping it all off is a mythic account of how golf-- or gowf-- came to be. This rare little treasure will bring smiles to the rained-out, the snowed-in, the stuck-in-transit, and anyone else who's not out on the course. The Clicking of Cuthbert is a perfect gift item for the golfer who has everything.
