Playing Sideways

Golf Stories, Escaping the Rough of Life, and Playing England's Best

By: Erik C. Hansen

Narrated by: Erik C. Hansen

Life, like golf, is just rough at times. So what do we do when we find ourselves in the proverbial deep stuff on or off the links? Do we hack away continuing to take risks and go for the impossible shot? Or do we take a more conservative approach and play it safe to give ourselves a better view of the fairway?

From a near paralyzing mountain bike crash, to an attempt to caddie, and finally playing some of the most famous courses in Southwest England, this book is one person's year of setbacks and his efforts to forcibly escape them in hilarious, precarious, and somewhat victorious fashion. This book has become such a passion project for me that I decided to narrate it myself. It was a ton of work...but worth it.

Great book.

Although I am not an avid golfer, the story was very relatable and written well.
I would recommend this book to anybody who loves sports, travel, or simply enjoys reading about friends embarking on an adventure.
