My fellow port-swillers, I may go to hell for this, but here goes:
George MacDonald Fraser’s golf story “McCauslin in the Rough” is, in fact, better than any golf story Plum Wodehouse ever wrote.

I haven’t read it. But I am still tempted to shout, “Blasphemy!” I do love a good Flashman story, but the Wodehouse golf stories are some of my favorites. Odd for someone who has never golfed, I suppose.

I know, I know. And if the Drones Club come round to burn me at the stake, I’ll hold their coats and cheer them on. But it’s true that Fraser is staggeringly funny, and it’s all the more staggering because of the fact that he’s a Scot. Scots aren’t funny. A funny Scotsman is even more unsual than an un-funny Irishman.
