The Clicking of Cuthbert

By: P. G. Wodehouse

Narrated by: Frederick Davidson

Who but P.G. Wodehouse could have extracted high comedy from the most noble and ancient game of golf? And who else could have combined this comedy with a real appreciation of the game, drawn from personal experience? Wodehouse's brilliant but human brand of humor is perfectly suited to these stories of love, rivalry, revenge, and fulfillment on the links.

While the Oldest Member sits in the clubhouse quoting Marcus Aurelius on patience and wisdom, outside on the green the fiercest human passions burn. All kinds of human life are here, from the cocky professional Sandy McHoots to the shy Ramsden Waters, whose only consolation is golf. Even golf-haters will not be able to resist stories that so perfectly blend physical farce with verbal wit and a gallery of unforgettable characters.

Critic reviews

"[Wodehouse is] a brilliantly funny writer - perhaps the most consistently funny the English language has yet produced." (The Times, London)
"Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever." (Douglas Adams)

! Awesome!

Awesome storytelling once again by PG!!
Even if you don't like golf you'll enjoy this read.
The narrator is great!

Off the tee on to the fairway.

Once again, PG Woodhouse, thrills and amuses with this excellent set of golf stories. They’re having a few glitches here and there in the recording the overall read was excellent. Recommended.

One more bit of greatness from Wodehouse

How CAN he be so funny? I’m stunned at the high quality of Wodehouse’s enormous body of work (over 90 books). This is an early one, published in 1922, a collection of great golf stories, primarily told by the Oldest Member of the mythical golf clib. Although Frederick Davidson isn’t as good a narrator as Jonathan Cecil, it’s still very good.

Fun short stories

This collection of short stories centered around golf and light hearted romance are fun and funny. Listening to them all at once, as in a long road trip is too much, but taken like sips of fine wine over time, they provide reliable entertainment.
