    -Hal Underwood, professional golfer and the inspiration behind the film "Tin Cup"

      A Final Thought

      Foreword

      After taking on the game of golf at the tender age of thirteen, I have enjoyed (or agonized over) this worldly game for fifty-four years. Not without some measure of success, mind you, but unless you are Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods, you will enjoy, or suffer, a miniscule amount of winning occasions and far more agonizing defeats. Fleeting are the wins, and devastating are the losses.

      Given that this is true, one must develop a strong, immensely fierce sense of humor, complete with predictable one-liners after every sodded tee shot, giant slice, or pull hook. Not to mention a repertoire of curse words in several different languages that fly out of your mouth faster than a gnat can be sucked into your nose on a spring evening. That being said, there is no limit to the creativity of unsavory words exhaled by the p–-d-off hack—or professional, for that matter.

      Dayna has absolutely captured a great deal of the flavor of this great game in this book. If you have ever played the game with any degree of sincerity, the book will remind you of the exhilarating successes, beauty, and humor that only the game of golf can provide in abundance.

      —Hal Underwood, professional golfer
