BeHind tHe sCenes OF A mAJOr
Clive Endive Ogive IV belongs to at least eighteen
very exclusive private clubs—certainly all the ones
that matter. The fact that he has a Roman numeral
four after his name and is exclusive heir to a trust
fund whose annual interest is sufficient to pay all his
annual club dues in perpetuity—and also somehow
manages to write all this money off on his taxes as “legitimate business
deductions”—is more than enough to qualify him to author multiple
groundbreaking and awe-inspiring books about the wonderful world of
private clubs.

enemies, fellow club members and fellow club employees—please visit

MURDER AND MAYHEM AT OLD BANBURY
Private clubs are inextricably woven into the very fabric of America’s
history, traditions and culture—and for that matter, those histories,
traditions and cultures of ALL free societies around the world—and
members, employees and guests alike (well, maybe not guests) will
enjoy the author’s penetrating insights, off-beat humor, blatant
irreverence and sarcastic wit. EVERYONE with a sense of humor (club
member or not) will laugh his socks off at this latest Clive tale.
Clive Endive Ogive IV
Murder and Mayhem at Old Bunbury, Clive Endive Ogive IV’s

Clive and waitress-extraordinaire Esther team up to solve a gruesome
murder at one of the world’s truly great private clubs: the Old Bunbury
Golf Links & Reading Club. Along the way Clive and Esther
reacquaint you with many wacky old friends and introduce you to
some even zanier new ones.

that was in but one of the queues for the
many rental car companies at that particular
airport.
the beneficial impact on the economy of
the monterey Peninsula would be hard
to judge but there were many who did
very well out of the week. Hotel and motel
rooms which would normally sell for around
Us$100 per night were going for two and
three times that amount and were hard to
come by.
On my arrival at the Budget car rental
counter at san Francisco airport it seemed
that everyone in the lengthy queue for cars
on the sunday before the event was a golf
fan or industry colleague headed south.
Although i have caddied in a couple
previously, this was the first Us Open i had
attended as a golf journalist and i could not
have been more impressed. some hardened
golf journalists were overheard expressing
frustration at issues such as the cost of
merchandising and the distance between
the media park and the media centre (15
minutes on a coach).
in my ‘rookie’ year however i preferred to
look at the glass half full. i hope i always will.
