Don't let antipathy to golf put you off. Might make the stories even funnier. They are excellent.
I regret that Wodehouse didn't write more of Uncle Fred and Psmith. Each has only four novels. I'm still saving the last Uncle Fred - Service with a Smile for later. While Psmith - my other favourite has a silver tongue (love his eloquence and diplomacy and seemingly naïve cunning or seemingly cunning naivetés), Uncle Fred is a man of action. Wodehouse is such a genius on portraying offbeat characters and plotting the plot (I read somewhere he spent a lot, a lot of time on plot - I can just imagine he must have often chuckled to himself while doing it), and his brilliant writing of dialogues and action scenes so often made I laugh to tears!
What's in that, Extollager? Any shorts? Presumably the novels "Uncle Fred in the Springtime" (which is also a blandings novel), "Uncle Dynamite", "Cocktail Time" (which I have, but haven't read just yet), and "Service with a Smile". I don't have the last. I think there are probably Fred short stories, but I'm not sure.
Off the top of my head I can think of only one short story, "Uncle Fred Flits By," in which the Earl impersonates several different people in the space of (probably) less than an hour. Which is pretty well even for him!
Buck-U-Uppo is a useful dramatic device. Particularly funny story (in Meet Mr Mulliner) of the 2 curmudgeonly old boys who go back to their hated old school for a statue unveilling and take too much of the stuff one night.
