CREATESPACE – Life's an Unplayable Lie: Hilarious Golf Memoir & True Stories

Life's an Unplayable Lie offers 28 years of unbelievable, true golf stories told with humor and heart. Angelo Spagnolo, famously labeled "America's Worst Avid Golfer," invites readers into a world of improbable rounds, surprising twists, and unforgettable characters.

What you’ll discover

Across three entertaining parts, the book weaves missteps, misfortunes, and memorable breakthroughs with a light touch. Part One playfully guides readers toward the idea of becoming the worst golfer ever. Part Two follows the global fallout and the curious happenings on courses around the world. Part Three revisits a high-stakes moment on the famous 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, captured with drama and humor, and polished by a narrative voice that keeps the pages turning.

• Engaging, story-driven anecdotes that reveal the lighter side of golf culture
• Iconic moments, including a documented 257 score and a dramatic hole attempt
• A foreword by Golf Digest’s Bob Carney that adds credibility and warmth

Who is this for?

• Golf enthusiasts seeking entertainment beyond instruction
• Readers who enjoy surprising true stories and behind-the-scenes golf lore
• The perfect gift for a golfer who appreciates wit, storytelling, and a bit of humility

Design and presentation matter here: the 8.5 by 11-inch format fits beautifully on a coffee table or in a living room display. The narrative invites both quick dips and longer reads, with stories structured to reward casual skims or full immersion.

A few notes on tone and takeaway

While the book features remarkable events, it remains a celebration of life, perseverance, and humor about one’s own game. Some readers report feeling more at ease about their own rounds, inspired to share a laugh with friends, or simply to enjoy a captivating, well-told tale.
