Some great recommendations here! Will keep my train commute much more enjoyable over the winter months!

A Good Walk Spoiled and The Majors by John Feinstein. Both old books but excellent reads. He also wrote Monet of Glory which isn't quite as good but still a decent read.

I also enjoyed A Course called Ireland by Tom Coyne.

The Majors was a superb read

An American Caddie in St Andrews
Ian Poulters autobiography

They're both great reads. Currently reading Bring me the head of Sergio Garcia and it's pretty funny.

Bringing up an old thread but arrived in St Andrews this aft and one of the first people I saw next to the 18th was Oliver Horowitz after he'd just finished a loop. Had a bit of a chat, really nice bloke!

Here's one which has little to do with golf but was co-written by the first winner of the British Ladies' Open, Jenny Lee Smith. Called "My Secret Sister" it tells the story of how, after discovering aged 14 that she was adopted, she eventually found her sister at the age of 55. However that was just the start of the surprises she was to discover. Reads like fiction with many unexpected twists. I met up with her last week, for the first time in around 50 years, together with her "secret" sister. Fantastic book

The unstoppable golfer by Dr Bob Rotella.

excellent book.

Harvey Pencick's little red book and little green book are good to dip into. Found Lawrence Donegan's Four Iron in the soul very entertaining, about a journalist who became a caddie on tour for a year, wonderful insights and humour.

If you want a bit of fiction and a good laugh, The Amateurs by John Niven is genuinely the funniest book I've read. I was in tears in parts. Set in Ayrshire with basic humour from that part of the country but I'm sure it will appeal.

Reading a book by a well known/sold author who is a friend of my brother.

In this plot he has named my brothers street as a murder scene, very accurately described his office and the dog walks they use.
In another book plot my brother's description was as team menber of his [real] group of 5 aside footballers who were bumped off one at a time.

I liked golf on the rocks by Gary Sutherland

Me too.

I am currently reading "Swinging from the Heels" by Christina Kim about life on the LPGA tour. It's a fun read. She is quite a character.

...Four Iron In The Soul...

Thumbs up to this one. It was written some time in the 90s so things may have changed since, but it really opened my eyes to how hard life as a caddie can be.
