Todd Sentell

writer

In the alluring history of world literature, Todd Sentell is the first native Georgian and Atlantan to publish a sports-related novel, comic golf, comic tennis, comic bowling or otherwise ... and *Toonamint of Champions* is seriously funny. He's also an award winning magazine writer. His wildly comic golf novel, *Toonamint of Champions: How LaJuanita Mumps Got to Join Augusta National Golf Club Real Easy* is a candidate for the prestigous 2008 Thurber Prize for American Humor. The novel has been hailed as a social satirical masterpiece and its quirky style and tone has been compared to Mark Twain, P.G. Wodehouse, and James Thurber. For many years, Todd was director of sales and marketing of one of Atlanta's most prestigious private golf clubs, beyond the empty guard shack, an hourly source of horrifying behavior by alcohol and greasy food and prescription drug and ego-addled well dressed rich white men and some of their secretaries not to be believed.
