When to Regrip Your Ball Retriever

For more than a year now, we here at Golfstinks have been telling you not to take your poor play and high handicap too seriously. We've posted many colorful articles on this blog that we hoped would instill in you the necessary frame of mind to enjoy golf while still stinking at it. In fact, we plan on posting many more of these types of articles.

But to help you along, I've come across some great reading material. Whether in your favorite arm chair or on the porcelain throne, these books are sure to increase your laughter with every page-turn. Endorsed by former U.S. presidents and CEO's of Fortune 500 companies, "How to Line Up Your Fourth Putt" and the recently released "When to Regrip Your Ball Retriever" should be part of every golfer's book collection.

My copies are now on my bookshelf - wedged right next to Ben Hogan's Five Lessons. They're the perfect compliment to each other. I feel it projects to others that: "I'm trying to get better, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it."

Author Bobby Rusher presents his material as a golf instructional manual of sorts. But you wont find advice on how to properly grip a club - instead you'll find a chapter entitled "The Insignificance of Proper Grip." My other favorite chapters? "How to Hit a Dunlop 2 From the Rough on your Second Shot, When You Hit a Titleist 1 From the Tee;" or "What to do When you've Parred the Course by the 11th Hole;" and the always popular "Body Blocks and When to Use Them."

One of Mr. Rusher's more compelling chapters is entitled "The Importance of Realizing that Most Golfers are Bad Golfers." He explains that when he played Pebble Beach (he shot 141 there by the way), he was intimidated because he feared he would embarrass himself on one of the world's greatest courses. But he quickly realized that all the other golfers on the course that day were bad too. It took him 6 hours to complete his round because the group he was following was just as terrible.

Of course, I've been using the term "chapters" but, these are each typically one page of light and comical reading. The reality is, Mr. Rusher's books are sarcastic, laugh-out-loud pointers and cheats about taking a light-hearted approach to your stinky golf game. And if you can laugh at these books, you're one step closer to enjoying golf despite how bad you may be at it. Hats off to you Bobby Rusher - you're a true stinky golfer.
