The Foozle Golf Series

Golf Guide for Those Who Just Want to Play

Simple Rules, Etiquette, and Honest Know-How for Your First 18 Holes

The book that started it all. A practical, warm, and frequently funny guide for the golfer stepping onto the course for the first time — or the hundredth time, still feeling like the first. Covers etiquette, strategy, the mental game, and what to do when the ball goes somewhere you did not intend, which will be often.

For: Beginners, returners, and anyone who needs a friend on the first tee.

The Word "Nearly"

A Funny Golf Gift Book of Jokes, Swing Excuses, Putting Pain, and 19th-Hole Wisdom

216 numbered golf observations, each with three parts: The Truth, The Evidence, and The Clubhouse Version. From the first tee to the nineteenth hole. Deadpan, dry, and uncomfortably accurate.

Every entry is numbered from Nearly 1 to Nearly 216. When a putt lips out, someone will say "That's a Nearly 92." When the drive finds the trees, someone else will reply "Classic Nearly 16."

For: Anyone who has ever said "it was turning back" and meant it in the theological sense.

Golf Between the Ears

365 Golf Reflections — One Thought Per Day for the Thinking Golfer

A golf-minded collection of daily reflections inspired by Stoic thinking and practical philosophy. Each entry offers a thought, a quotation, a practical expansion, and a personal question. The book starts in the car park and finishes at the next first tee.

Not a book of swing tips. A book about judgement, patience, resilience, and the discipline to make the next decision better than the last.

For: The golfer ready to think about their game, not just play it.

The Unflappable Golfer

Stoic Philosophy for 18 Holes of Golf

Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca applied to eighteen holes of golf. 300 entries, each with three parts: The Principle, The Hole, and The Practice. Not an academic exercise. A survival guide.

For the player who cannot let go of the 9th by the 15th. Who protects a good score until the protection destroys it.

For: The golfer who suspects the problem was never the swing.

The Epicurean Approach to the 19th Hole

Philosophy, Golf, and the Good Life at the Bar

Epicurus spent his life working out the philosophy of the 19th hole — approximately two thousand three hundred years before it existed. 300 entries on golf, life, love, loss, the bar tab, the ageing body, and the quiet certainty that tomorrow you will play again.

For: The golfer who loves the game too much to take it entirely seriously — and seriously enough to wonder what it all means.
