Every golfer has experienced the heartbreak of a ball buried deep in a sand trap- the fried egg. They've heard the unmistakable plunk of a shot that lands in a water hazard- a truly playable lie. Or sunk the ball so deep in prickly gorse that no club yet invented could pry it free. That's a bad lie, for sure. In Bad Lies: A Field Guide to Lost Balls, Missing Links, and Other Golf Mishaps, golf's wittiest observer, photographer Charles Lindsay, stakes out the diabolic border territories that encroach on golf courses- moon-crater bunkers, waist-high fescue grass, murky lake bottoms- to capture the unbelievable my-ball-went-where? moments that make the game so infuriating and so addictive for so many. We see golf balls in cacti, a lone golfer stranded on a stretch of beach by the fairway, and a scuba diver returning on errant ball from a pond to its rightful duffer, Lindsay's brilliant photographs showcase the pitfalls of the game in the same hilarious style that made his book Lost Balls so popular. Sports Illustrated PRAISE FOR LOST BALLS:"Lindsay's howlingly hysterical photographs of the horrible things we do to golf balls--and they to us--put the tragedy and comedy of the game into focus."
