9 short stories, related by the Oldest Member, reflecting on the perils of golf, life, and love.

Very good, pretty funny, especially as most of his characters are a similar standard of golf as I am.

Maud thinks she's in love with Geoffrey and recruits George (the rich songwriter) to help her get in touch with him as her snooty family consider Geoffrey beneath her. But George falls for Maud from the first time she jumps unannounced into his taxi to escape her irritating brother. But Geoffrey turns out to be an idiot and the snooty family don't object so much to George as at least he's rich. Phew.

OK I guess, lots of quite funny shenanigans with the servants having a sweepstake, and even a few funny golf references.

Bertie and Jeeves head off to Aunt Dahlia's in order to try and patch up things between Angela and Tuppy and also drippy Madeline and Gussie Fink-Nottle, the newt-fancier. Bertie reckons his scheme(s) will work better than Jeeves, but disaster ensues with everyone getting engaged to the wrong person and Jeeves has to step in...

Quite entertaining, but I think the Blandings books are better.

Bertie Wooster and Jeeves head into the Sussex countryside to intervene in something or other, help one couple to get permission to marry, avoid the perils of schoolboy Edwin and generally cause mayhem. Jeeves (spoiler alert) saves the day.

OK, quite funny in the usual way,

Psmith is in New York to support his friend Mike, who is on a cricket tour. He gets involved in editing a newspaper, Cosy Moments, and attempts to take on an evil slum landlord by exposing his crimes in the newspaper. Aided by a cat-loving gangster, an ambitious young boxer and an office boy with a big heart he trails chaos behind him.

OK, quite funny.
