Favourite golfing book?

Getting up and down. A golf instruction book co-authored by Tom Watson & Nick Seitz. Very much my bible for short game practice.
 
Another vote for "The Greatest Game Ever Played", the story of young amateur Francis Ouimet's incredible US Open win.

Chipping over stimies, playing out of plugged lies... Brilliant reading.
 
John Hoskison's "No Hiding in the Open" is a good read....a tale about a journeyman pro's life on tour and his attempts to qualify for the Open...right through to its tragic ending.

Equally good is the same authors book "Inside" recounting his time in prison and the inadequacies of the British penal system, following the ending of the above book.
