Praise for Putt:

"You are a sick person but a very funny writer. I loved your book. Whatever you write next, I'm buying it. I am mentioning this book whenever and to whomever I can."
Rick Reilly, Award-Winning Journalist & Columnist for Sports Illustrated, New York, NY
 
"Our number one pick for Mother's and Father's Day is still our top humor pick for under a golfer's tee...The duffers in your life do not need red and green golf balls...or reindeer head-shaped club covers. What they need is "HOW TO LINE UP YOUR FOURTH PUTT"
Warren Cassell, President, Just Books, Inc., Greenwich, CT
 
"Life is constant warfare, with brief interludes of pleasure -- this book is sheer pleasure ...I have had the pleasure of playing golf for 50 years and baby, do I relate to this book...Tears were streaming down my face... I plan to give this to all my golfing pals!"
Jerry Lavin, President, Pompian, Chicago, IL
 
"This is a must read...for certain golfers! Those who are still as bad as they always were...So where does a golfer turn when his hope for victory, however ludicrous, depends entirely on finding an opponent who plays even sorrier? That's where this book comes in!"
Charles Allbright, Arkansas Democrat Gazette

Reviews of the 1st Edition from happy readers:

Laughter From a Cape Cod Beach
Reviewer: A reader
"I settled in to read your book on a cool day at a Cape Cod Beach. I flipped to Chapter 6, burst out laughing, and tipped over my water bottle. Who would have ever "thunk" to just "Pick Up" when you're in that much trouble. It kind of takes the edge off that 'I hate this game, I hate this game' mantra. This book is really terrific, especially Chapter 28 which can be adapted to many other events...'remain totally silent until your spouse decides to speak to you.' Thank you for a hearty laugh...looking forward to the next book!"
 
Happy in Nashville
I think your book is just a complete double-eagle for understanding the true nature of the golf experience. It's absolutely hilarious. How it escaped my attention I don't know. There have been just a handful of books that I've read in my lifetime that I thought, "Damn, I should have thought of that!" Yours is the newest on that short list.
 
Perspective

Mr.Rusher's view of golf and his fundamental understanding of the game is a wonderfully refreshing statement of the humor and pespective we should maintain toward life itself.In a world where we constantantly take ourselves far too seriously, it's a great joy to take a moment with a book that makes you laugh out loud (even though you're by yourself)! Kudos to Bobby Rusher for a thoroughly entertaining trip around the golf course and for making us pause long enough to keep life in proper focus.
 
Wisdom for the Pulpit

My husband, Jon, would like to get and autographed copy of the book, "How to Line Up Your Fourth Putt." How would I go about getting one? He has used a few references in the pulpit for humor reasons....just loves the book.

 
Escape the Snow and Laugh Out Loud

I am down here in St. Croix with some fellow golfers whose games are sorry indeed, and we found this gem after our second round. The best thing about this is it seems totally original--not a stolen ball or a flubbed chip in it. It is a laugh out loud riot and a perfect gift for Father's Day and Christmas. I like "How To Avoid the Water When You Lie 8 in the Bunker" the best.
