Why Golf is so Exciting! Ever had some dumb hick up and tell you about his round of golf-hole by dang hole? Ever been knocked on your skull real hard by a school bus? The numbing effect is exactly the same. But in Why Golf is so Exciting! along comes the hump-backed Waddell Tiddybumpus to prove-all by himself, thumping along hole by hole-that a Saturday afternoon round of golf at the ol' country club really is one of the most riveting of all human experiences. Of course, what memorable round of golf doesn't involve some sex and violence and insane people? Waddell Tiddybumpus seems to attract the very best of the sport. God forbid if Saturday afternoon golf widows knew what fun their men were really having. Why Golf is so Exciting! is written in a wildly engaging comic voice. In other words, if Dave Barry and the creepiest director ever, David Lynch, collaborated on a golf novel...then Why Golf is so Exciting! would be it. Toonamint of Champions Stairway Press is proud to bring out the paperback version of the acclaimed Toonamint of Champions, perhaps the bravest sports novel ever written, and a 2008 candidate for the Thurber Prize for American Humor. In Toonamint, originally published in 2007, the author Todd Sentell predicted that Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, would one day admit a black woman into their membership. The historic moment happened in 2012. Of course, Condoleezza Rice ain't Toonamint's LaJuanita Mumps, a sort of secretary of state of her own...a state of apocalyptic irreverence...and a constant agitator to her fiancé, Waymon Poodle, whose life goal is to play Augusta National Golf Club just one time before he dies. What ensues in this lunatic adventure has never been seen in the history of golf fiction. Frequently compared to A Confederacy of Dunces and I Love You, Beth Cooper, Toonamint of Champions is guaranteed to be the funniest and most raucous book you'll ever read.

<p>An off-the-wall story with larger-than-life characters, this novel discusses the desire to gain membership to an exclusive golf club and the realization that the grass just may be greener on the other side. Waymon Poodle, a wall-eyed, squawky-voiced Bible thumper, obsesses about teeing off at the Augusta National Golf Club. Waymon’s quest to be granted access into the most famous golf club in the world sets him on an irreverent and hilarious course of enlightenment and adventure—from a loud-mouthed girlfriend, LaJuanita Mumps, who also wants into the exclusive club, to the affluent and influential buffoons who are already members. With comic vitality and southern spice, this hip and fresh novel will delight golf enthusiasts and fans of humor alike.</p>
