Conclusion: Play Again, Gently, Soon
This was never a golf book — and where the word Muffin really came from.
— from Chapter 1, Muffin Golf 101

"From the slope behind the green I called down to Leah: "Take another shot!" The wind off the water turned it into something else by the time it reached her — "Take a Muffin Shot." Muffin is our cat. Two hours into her first-ever round, Leah wasn't about to ask her husband to repeat himself, so she took the advice at face value, dropped a fresh ball, and pitched it three feet from the cup. She made the putt for her first birdie. The group waiting on the tee had no idea we'd just named our marriage.
