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

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

'One of The Funniest Golf Books Ever Written... Do yourself a favour and get a copy of Two Ruddy Ducks and a Partridge on a Par Three, The Unexpurgated Golf Letters of Mortimer Merriweather, penned by Clive Agran....Agran is a freelance golf writer and this book is a little gem.' Golfshake 'I can't recommend Two Ruddy Ducks and a Partridge on a Par Three enough - It's very well written (as you would expect from Agran - a stalwart of golf writing) and it's just very, very funny.' 'The whole book is a hoot and it's one you can either read from cover to cover or just dip into and read a couple...' Golf Monthly 'This collection of letters from the fictional Mortimer Merriweather - including missives to golfing luminaries, world leaders and The Supreme Leader of North Korea, to name a few - makes for hilarious reading and will enhance your sense of the fundamental absurdity of this game.'
