About this product

Product Information

The hilarious, heartwarming and - unbelievably - true story of Maurice Flitcroft, the World's Worst Golfer The hilarious, heartwarming and - unbelievably - true story of Maurice Flitcroft, the World's Worst Golfer When 46-year-old crane driver Maurice Flitcroft chanced his way into the Open - having never before played a round of golf in his life - he ran up a record-worst score of 121. The sport's ruling classes banned him for life. Maurice didn't take it lying down. In a hilarious game of cat-and-mouse with The Man, he entered tournaments again - and again, and again - using increasingly ludicrous pseudonyms such as Gene Pacecki, Arnold Palmtree and Count Manfred von Hoffmanstel (more often than not disguised by a fake moustache). In doing so, he sent the authorities into apoplexy, and won the hearts of fans from Muirfield to Michigan, becoming arguably the most popular - and certainly the bravest - sporting underdog the world has ever known

    This book arrived in much better than "good" condition as described in the listing: I'd say "new and unread"! Excellent value, postage included in the price. Professionally packaged in recyclable cardboard and brown paper, very promptly dispatched and delivered via Royal Mail Tracked: 2 days purchase-to-delivery, so thanks for using Royal Mail ~ I always recommend them. Am very pleased with my purchase and happy to recommend this seller. Buy with confidence! Many thanks and best wishes, CJ.

    SpeedyHen are a really classy eBay seller in my opinion. Have bought from them before with no issues. Always good on delivery and packaging. One of two items purchased this time had an issue (likely from the factory) and SpeedyHen were very quick to resolve and communication was always excellent. Will always buy from these guys when the right item comes up. A firm favourite.

  • You don`t need to like golf to enjoy this biographical tale of a Great British trier.

    A great read. Maurice was of one life`s triers. It`s all about making the most of what little you have been dealt in life. Inspirational and funny.
