Ricky Woods is a lifelong sports addict with a realistic understanding of his own abilities: enthusiastic, committed, and absolutely not destined for greatness. Whether he's hacking his way around a golf course, tangling fishing lines, convincing himself cycling uphill builds ""character,"" or redefining what counts as ""running,"" Ricky brings the same energy: try hard, swear harder, and laugh hardest.Lover of sports, master of excuses, Ricky gives 100%... of what he's got left. When he's not out playing badly, he's watching the pros do it properly from the safety of his couch - loudly offering advice they definitely don't need. He calls it ""staying realistic.""Ricky has always believed in laughing at yourself first... mostly because everyone else will beat you to it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - CAD (United States) Relaxing enjoyable read Enjoyed this book. From page 1 thru the end. Pace of reading very enjoyable with lots of witty(but true) saying inter spaced with some facts about pros also finding funny (also sad) moments. Very easy read ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Alan (United States) Relaxing enjoyable read Fun read with a great mix of humor and stories As a high-handicap golfer, I very much liked and related to this book. I mean, who hasn't been told ""Nice Shot"" when you know you're never going to find that ball? It's a fun read with a nice mix of humor and storytelling. The examples of well-known professionals messing up adds a nice bit of facts to help one stay grounded. I highly recommend this book, under two conditions...1) You have to golf. 2) You have to have a sense of humor. It's a fun read for yourself and/or makes a great gift for the golfer in your life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - hessps (United States) A must have for golf fans A very entertaining time for people who love golf and have their own stories. I loved every page.
