Leslie Nielsen è stato un attore e comico canadese e naturalizzato americano, noto soprattutto per la sua distintiva interpretazione "deadpan". Sebbene abbia iniziato la sua carriera con ruoli seri in film drammatici e western, la sua svolta è arrivata con la sua iconica interpretazione in "L'aereo più pazzo del mondo", che gli è valsa il plauso come "l'Olivier delle parodie". La sua abilità nel ritrarre personaggi impassibili, apparentemente ignari dell'assurdità del loro ambiente, lo ha consacrato come una leggenda della commedia. Successivamente, ha consolidato ulteriormente il suo successo con la serie di film "Una pallottola spuntata", diventando un maestro della parodia e dello slapstick.
Leslie Nielsen, the World's Greatest Bad Golfer, teams up with humorist Henry Beard to produce a golf book for legions of hopeless duffers who know in their heart of hearts that no matter how much they practice, no matter what new tip they follow, no matter what foolproof method they embrace, they are never going to improve. Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 photos of the master himself, this bestselling golf parody is the perfect gift for Father's Day.
Leslie Nielsen, best known as Lieutenant Frank Drebin from the Naked Gun films, is also celebrated among golfers as the World's Greatest Bad Golfer. Collaborating with humorist Henry Beard, Nielsen has created a unique collection of humorous insights and absurd tips in the Stupid Little Golf Book. This work is crafted to resemble a serious study of golf but offers no tedious drills or complex instructions. Instead, it provides straightforward advice on how to navigate the game with cunning and charm, alongside amusing anecdotes of questionable sportsmanship. From basics like grip technique to a "Foolproof Way to Knock at Least Six Strokes off Your Score" (which humorously suggests skipping the last hole), this book is a lighthearted take on golf for the average player. Nielsen, a beloved actor with a wealth of film credits, is recognized for his memorable mishaps on the golf course, including infamous shots like "The Shank Heard Round the World" and the "hole-in-none." With this book, he brings joy back to the game, making it accessible and entertaining for all. Henry Beard, a National Lampoon founder, has also contributed to the humor genre with several bestselling titles related to golf.
