Confessions of a Wee Poison PGA Golf Pro: A Hilarious Golf Memoir by John Groshell

From classroom to the golf course

Confessions of a Wee Poison PGA Golf Pro stitches together John Groshells love of sports, dogs, and laughter into a candid memoir. The narrative threads a dramatic Family Day moment into a lifelong pursuit of teaching, coaching, and chasing a PGA dream, all told with warmth and wit.

Life on and off the fairway

The memoir traces a winding path: five years in the classroom guiding students who didnt always fit the mold, followed by the grind of earning PGA membership and building a career on and beyond the greens. A riverside course becomes a canvas for ambition, stewardship, and community bonds, even as the landscape tests players with floods that reshaped the course and its people.

• Entertaining anecdotes grounded in real experiences on the course and in the classroom
• Relatable moments of setback and small wins that shape a one-of-a-kind career
