Well, not really true!
There is one of the underrated novels by Ellroy that is set
around golf greens and caddies.
Also you will be surprised to find out in a number of Noir/HB
stories (books and films)what use some innovative golf
enthousiasts could find for their neglected clubs...
And last but not least, one of the greatest modern writers of
popular literature in Europe: Jean Ray, published the very
good "Les Contes Noir du Golf"
(Noir Tales of Golf) in the fifities- all these short stories
were first published in... the official magazine of the Golf
Federation of Belgium! and anthologized after his death. Ray
was a master for fantastic-horror short stories (Lovecraft
vein -not gore) and he used many times mystery ingredients as
well He also got some fame there because of his "take over "
of the 'Harry Dickson' series published as dime novels
(starting in 1933- he was supposed to translate the German
edition of it for the French speaking public, but instead he
just used his own skills and imagination to continue the
series with his own stories!)
