Publisher Description
GARY is a sweet and decent man. Only two things would improve his life - having children with his gorgeous wife Pauline, and a lower golf handicap. Both are unlikely.
PAULINE is wondering how she ended up living in an ugly little house, driving a second-hand car and making a living dressing up as Tinkerbell. She's planning to leave Gary for a self-made carpet millionaire.
FINDLAY, the Carpet King of Scotland, wants to trade in his obese wife for a younger model. But if he goes for a divorce she'll take him to the cleaners. If only there was some way she could be made to disappear...
LEE, Gary's luckless brother, has botched one too many drug deals. Local crime overlord Ranta Campbell gives him one more job - one last chance to get it right. Lee's done some bad things - but murder?
When Gary gets smashed on the head by a golf ball and miraculously develops an absolutely perfect swing, everyone finds their fates rest on the final day of the Open Championship...

The Amateurs - Professional read
Brilliant, hilariously funny if you love sports/golf this will massively appeal to you. If you don’t you’ll still find this book fantastic..
Unputdownable
Brilliant book. Laugh out loud funny!
The Amateurs
This book is hilarious and also, in parts, quite frightening. One night I lay in bed and annoyed the wife with continual laughing while she read her Kindle. At one point it was so funny I tried to read the passage out to her and couldn't , seriously, I couldn't, I was crying with laughter. I had to hand it to her to read it herself. You really, honestly, don't need to know about, or have any interest in, golf to enjoy this brilliant novel. 5 STARS.
