The Clicking of CuthbertA Golf collection The Oldest Member knows everything that has ever happened on the golf course - and a great deal more besides. Take the story of Cuthbert, for instance. He's helplessly in love with Adeline, but what use are his holes in one when she's in thrall to Culture and prefers rising young writers to winners of the French Open? But enter a Great Russian Novelist with a strange passion, and Cuthbert's prospects are transformed. Then look at what happens to young Mitchell Holmes, who misses short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows. His career seems on the skids - but can golf redeem it? The kindly but shrewd gaze of the Oldest Member picks out some of the funniest stories Wodehouse ever wrote. |

LibraryThing Review
Nutzerbericht - hotblack43 - LibraryThingWell, if you like golf, this is your sort of book! But, I did think that the story ‘ A mixed threesome’ is quite funny. Shades of Black Books explorer chappie there! Vollständige Rezension lesen
LibraryThing Review
Nutzerbericht - PhilSyphe - LibraryThingThink I would’ve enjoyed these short stories more if I understood at least some golfing terms and rules. As it is, I don’t know any! Still, the humour surrounding the golf course makes this a worthwhile read if, like me, you appreciate P. G. Wodehouse’s comic talents. Vollständige Rezension lesen
