Two Ruddy Ducks and a Partridge on a Par Three - The Unexpurgated Golf Letters of Mortimer Merriweather

Clive Agran

Synopsis

Once described as the worst golfer never to have won a major, Mortimer Merriweather is a complex character with virtually nothing to show for 60 years of golf at the lowest level.
Decades of abject failure to strike the ball properly undoubtedly fuelled his frustration and led ultimately to him venting his ire on individuals, companies and organisations connected with the game of golf in this remarkable series of 100 letters.
The result is this hilarious book of his bizarre, insulting, unsettling and plain mad golfing ideas, all sent to famous hapless recipients, illustrated with occasional cartoons. 
'Clive Agran is golf's funniest writer.' – John Hopkins, The Times
