Description: "Life's an Unplayable Lie" by Bob Carney, David C. Spagnolo, Angelo Spagnolo "66", Angelo Spagnolo 66 Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description As its front cover accurately states, "Lifes an Unplayable Lie" is 28 years worth of unbelievable, true, golf stories as told by Angelo Spagnolo, "Americas Worst Avid Golfer," including the most incredible one...how he recorded the highest documented score, 257, in the over 555 year history of golf...including a 66 on one hole!!!" With a foreword by "Golf Digest" magazines Bob Carney, this beautiful, 8 1/2 X 11 coffee table version will look just as good in a golfers living room as it will in his man cave. This unusual and very humorous book is is divided into three major sections; Part One, "A How-To Guide to Becoming the Worst Golfer Ever" goes from telling of Angelos many early sports failures all the way to the epic 1985 "Worst Avid Golfers" Tournament...a golf calamity that far and away surpasses anything else that may have remotely ever been considered as being the worst round in golf history! From there, Part Two, "Life as Americas Worst Avid Golfer" describes the incredible fallout from becoming the only documented worst golfer in the history of the game, including amazing occurences that took place on golf courses around the world. As an unexpected conclusion, in Part Three, "Detailing Lifes Ups and Downs," the author describes in riveting detail the results of another amazing attempt at once again slaying his own personal nemesis, the 17th hole at the TPC Sawgrass... this time in front of the cameras of the "Golf Channel". If that wasnt already enough pressure, add in former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman just to make sure that there are no rules infractions...which it turns out that there were! After what most readers think is the conclusion to the story, in the final pages are described some recent developments that have created an even more surreal so-called "ending". "Or is it," the author asks? "Lifes an Unplayable Lie" comes complete with valuable, recurrent, underlying themes throughout the story which moved one professional writer to comment, "This could be the next great golf book. I can easily see this on a shelf next to Jack Nicklaus "Golf My Way" and Harvey Penicks "Little Red Book". Theres not a golfer in the world who cant relate to this story and who hasnt been there themself." Another recent reader, a female golfer, described "Lifes an Unplayable Lie" this way: "I cant stop reading it because I cant imagine whats going to be on the next page! I found myself putting aside other things that I had to do so that I could pick it back up and find out what happens next." Along with probably experiencing more laughs than they will have encountered reading just about anything else, the reader will learn valuable lifes lessons while the entire time continually shaking their head in amazement at the unbelievable series of events that continue falling like dominos over 28 years. The author describes his work as being, "The perfect gift for the golfer in your life. If nothing else, it will give golfers greater confidence in their own game. Everbody thinks that theyre the worst golfer who ever played. Now golfers everywhere will have a true yardstick with which to measure their own ineptitude. What theyll more than likely find out is that theyre really not that bad after all!" Whether youve ever golfed before in your life or not, Lifes an...Unplayable Lie is chock full of lifes lessons that will leave you shaking your head when youre finished and more than likely saying, "Wow, this guy really has life figured out!" Author Biography "Lifes an...Unplayable Lie is author Angelo Spagnolos initial foray into the world of book publishing. While he earned a degree in Journalism from Point Park University in Pittsburgh in 1976 and did work for five years in the newspaper business, he eventually found himself working in his familys supermarket business. After 25 years in supermarketing (which he compares to at least 50 years in any other career) he was more than ready for retirement and decided to finally work on that book that his family had so often encouraged him to write during years when he was far too distracted to do it. Life/s an...Unplayable Lie is a golf autobiography and it describes in great details Spagnolos journey into the netherworld of golf Hades where he would eventually emerge as the unquestioned Worst Avid Golfer in the history of the game. All in all, this book is great fun and teaches a very strong lesson about how not taking yourself too seriously can actually lead to many good things. In fact, it was so much fun for the author that it triggered an avalanche of writing over the next several years that led to a fiction series titled, The Federal Rapid Response Unit. The four titles released so far include The Heroes of La Palma, Kecksburg Doppelganger Effect, Tales From St. Peters Basement and Federal Rapid Response Unit: Nation Divided.
