Too Many Clubs And Not Enough BallsToo Many Clubs And Not Enough Balls
There are plenty of books about golf which tell you how to hold a club or play a shot. This is not one of those books. This is a novel about people who feel they are doing well if they ball they on the 18th green is the same one they drove off the first tee. It is a book about people who lost balls, clubs, tempers and on occasion the course they're supposed to be playing.

Published in Hardback

The perfect present for any golfer. Highly recommended.

Around The WicketAround The Wicket
All cricket lovers know that it is almost compulsory for players of professional cricket to write diaries detailing their adventures on and off the field. Often these literary offerings seem little more than self-congratulatory advertisements designed, on the one hand, to describe in nauseating and extensive detail the cricketer's talent, natural abilities and, on the other, his misfortune at having to play his professional cricket at a time when his county and national side were managed by incompetents whose sole purpose in life was to find excuses to leave him out of their sides.

In total contrast, Vernon Coleman believes that the very best cricket is played at local level, and so he decided to pen this diary as a tribute to the glories and glitches of village and town cricket. This book follows one traditional village team throughout a year's cricketing activity (on and off the field)

The Village Cricket TourThe Village Cricket Tour
Traditional village cricket has a special place in the hearts of all true cricket lovers. Freshly mown grass. The smell of linseed oil. Cucumber sandwiches and sponge cake. Blue skies. The click-click of studded boots on the well-worn pavilion steps.

Once in a lifetime a book is written which truly captures not only the soul and spirit of the game but also the essential, though often accidental, comedy of amateur village cricket.

Vernon Coleman's novel is just such a book. It tells the story of a team of amateur cricketers who spend two weeks of their summer holidays on tour in the West Country. It proves to be a most eventful fortnight full of mishaps and adventures as the team play their way around the coastline of Devon and Cornwall.
