    Favorite Golf Book?

    “The Match” is a great historical story told in a mesmerizing fashion. The life stories of the players was weaved into a frantastic round of golf that actually happened. Captivating.
    Anyone else have a favorite?

    I have it sitting right next to me on the side table. I am in the middle of a Tom Clancy novel now, but I will now definitely be reading it next. Thanks for the "review".

    finished it yesterday. Pretty good, but if you didn't follow pro golf in 1993 and 1994 some of the lesser known golfers will probably make reading it tedious. But over all the behind scenes stories of Q school, missed puts resulting in missing cuts, having to re-qualify through Q school, and near misses make it a good read. Also some good John Daly stories. Tiger Woods was just 18 years old at the time, and was mentioned just a couple of times as an up and coming amateur. I would like to read a sequel based on the last 10 years.

    Frank Beard On the Golf Tour. It was published in a diary format chronicling a year on the tour. A good read about how things were back before all the big money and ease of traveling. Many may not be familar with Beard, but he was an extremely good player.

    He did a follow up years later on the Senior tour titled "Making the Turn".

    I just finished "The Majors" by Feinstein. I enjoyed it. Better than "A Good Walk Spoiled" IMHO. It is about inside stories at the four majors in 1998.
