When Eddie Bennett began playing golf as a way to bond with his father, he quickly displayed a rare talent for the game. After a long and at times tragic road to the PGA Tour, all of the hard work appears to have paid off when it seemed as if Eddie would be a sure candidate for Rookie of the Year. Then Eddie sees something he should not have seen on the back nine of the Congressional Country Club. During a practice round for his first U.S. Open, he witnesses a murder. The killer is the man who will probably be the next President of the United States. He quickly understands his golfing career is ruined, but that is not all. The event forces Eddie underground while he tries to prove what he saw in a bid to get his life back. Eddie begins living a life a world apart from the pampered life on tour. He puts his trust in Atlanta attorney, Bryce Ballyntine, who helps him investigate the murder. Through his connection with Ballyntine, Eddie meets Mug, a terribly ugly but brilliant African-American with a criminal past and a talent for creating new identities. Armed with new credentials, Eddie flees to Mexico where he becomes friends with a golf hustler named Al and his gay partner, Manolo. As it turns out, Manolo has a past connection to the man who is now President. After the administration discovers Eddie in Mexico, he is forced to bolt again. In Belize, Eddie hooks up with Becky, a sexy but flighty scuba instructor. In the Dominican Republic, Eddie again risks exposure when he meets Sister Theresa, a nun who knew him in his past life. Unplayable Lie is much more than a novel about golf and the lessons the game can teach us. It is about coming of age, about attaining goals, and about dealing with the tragedies of life. It is about how the invisible hands of parents' guide us through life, long after they are gone. It is about trust and friendship, and love.

As its front cover accurately states, "Life's an Unplayable Lie" is 28 years' worth of unbelievable, true, golf stories as told by Angelo Spagnolo, "America's Worst Avid Golfer," including the most incredible one...how he recorded the highest documented score, 257, in the over 555 year history of golf...including a 66 on one hole!!!" With a foreword by "Golf Digest" magazine's Bob Carney, the story is divided into three parts; Part One, "A How-To Guide to Becoming the Worst Golfer Ever" goes from telling of his many early sports failures all the way to the epic 1985 "Worst Avid Golfers" Tournament. From there, Part Two, "Life as America's Worst Avid Golfer" describes the incredible fallout from becoming the only documented worst golfer in the history of the game, including amazing occurences that took place on golf courses around the world. As an unexpected conclusion, in Part Three, "Detailing Life's Ups and Downs," the author describes in riveting detail the results of another amazing attempt at once again slaying his own personal nemesis, the 17th hole at the TPC Sawgrass... this time in front of the cameras of the "Golf Channel." If that wasn't already enough pressure, add in former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman just to make sure that there are no rules infractions...which it turns out that there were! After what most readers think is the conclusion to the story, in the final pages are described some recent developments that have creatd an even more surreal so-called "ending." "Or is it," the author asks? "Life's an Unplayable Lie" comes complete with valuable, recurrent, underlying themes throughout the story which moved one professional writer to comment, "This could be the next great golf book. I can easily see this on a shelf next to Jack Nicklaus' "Golf My Way" and Harvey Penick's "Little Red Book." There's not a golfer in the world who can't relate to this story and who hasn't been there themself." Another recent reader, a female golfer, described "Life's an Unplayable Lie" this way: "I can't stop reading it because I can't imagine what's going to be on the next page! I found myself putting aside other things that I had to do so that I could pick it back up and find out what happens next." Along with probably experiencing more laughs than they will have encountered reading just about anything else, the reader will learn valuable life's lessons while the entire time continually shaking their head in amazement at the unbelievable series of events that continue falling like dominos over 28 years. The author describes his work as being, "The perfect gift for the golfer in your life. If nothing else, it will give golfers greater confidence in their own game. Everbody thinks that they're the worst golfer who ever played. Now golfers everywhere will have a true yardstick with which to measure their own game. What they'll more than likely find out is that they're really not that bad after all!"

In Unplayable Lies, Dan Jenkins takes us on a tour of the links as only he can do it.

New York has long been both America’s leading cultural center and its sports capital, with far more championship teams, intracity World Series, and major prizefights than any other city. Pro football’s “Greatest Game Ever Played” took place in New York, along with what was arguably history’s most significant boxing match, the 1938 title bout between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling. As the nation’s most crowded city, basketball proved to be an ideal sport, and for many years it was the site of the country’s most prestigious college basketball tournament. New York boasts storied stadiums, arenas, and gymnasiums and is the home of one of the world’s two leading marathons as well as the Belmont Stakes, the third event in horse racing’s Triple Crown. New York sportswriters also wield national influence and have done much to connect sports to larger social and cultural issues, and the vitality and distinctiveness of New York’s street games, its ethnic institutions, and its sports-centered restaurants and drinking establishments all contribute to the city’s uniqueness. New York Sports collects the work of fourteen leading sport historians, providing new insight into the social and cultural history of America’s major metropolis and of the United States. These writers address the topics of changing conceptions of manhood and violence, leisure and social class, urban night life and entertainment, women and athletics, ethnicity and assimilation, and more.
