Three Angry Foursomes

About This Audiobook

Russ Munson’s *Three Angry Foursomes* is the kind of golf satire that only someone who’s ever duffed a drive in front of their buddies could write. Imagine *Fight Club* meets *Caddyshack*, but with twelve players whose swings are less like strokes and more like existential crises. The premise—four separate foursomes locked in a brutal, high-stakes round—could’ve been a gimmick, but Munson turns it into a darkly hilarious character study of golf’s most broken souls. These aren’t pros; they’re husbands, exes, delusional optimists, and one guy who’s convinced his putter is cursed. The humor isn’t gentle; it’s the kind that sneaks up on you mid-laugh-out-loud and leaves you weirdly sympathetic to their suffering.

What makes this audiobook a cut above is Boyd Barrett’s narration. His voice flips effortlessly between each golfer’s neurotic monologues, regional tics, and the occasional muttered obscenity, giving every character a distinct, lived-in texture. The production is crisp, with just enough ambient sound—whistling winds, the *thwack* of a mis-hit, the groan of a player realizing their ball’s in a sand trap—forged into the mix. It’s not background noise; it’s the soundtrack to this disaster of a round, and it makes the listening experience feel like you’re right there, holding your breath as these poor souls dig themselves deeper.
