Leslie Nielsen fue un actor y comediante canadiense y nacionalizado estadounidense, célebre por su particular estilo de humor 'deadpan' o inexpresivo. Aunque comenzó su carrera con roles serios en dramas y westerns, su trayectoria dio un giro decisivo con su icónico papel en '¡Aterriza como puedas!', que le valió el reconocimiento como el 'Olivier de las parodias'. Su habilidad para interpretar personajes serios aparentemente ajenos a lo absurdo de su entorno lo consolidó como una leyenda de la comedia. Posteriormente, continuó cosechando éxitos con la saga de películas 'Agárralo como puedas', afianzando su maestría en el género de la parodia y el 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.
