Golf Books for holiday

[tsped83]

It'll soon be that time when Mr & Mrs Sped hit the beach abroad. Her looking tanned and damn right fine in a bikini, me looking pasty and uncomfortable under the parasol (posh).

I'm an avid reader, especially on holiday and would like a golf fix whilst there, so what golf books do you recommend for the beach? Don't want anything uber technical at the best of times, so certainly not on hols...

Thoughts?

Also, anyone read this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Golf-Tough-...TF8&qid=1400761547&sr=8-1&keywords=golf+tough

Thanks

I took it to Lanzarote with me last year for round the pool, but practically finished it on the plane over it was that good!

Hank Haney's The Big Miss was very enjoyable. Plus anything by Bob Rotella!

Try "No hiding in the Open" by John Hoskison. A good read and a hell of a surprise at the end.

 

[Khamelion]

Dream On, a hackers attempt to get to scratch in 1 year

Or if you have a kindle or iPad, New Golf Thinking

Top book - I'd recommend 'A course called Ireland' by Tom Coyne too

Try "No hiding in the Open" by John Hoskison. A good read and a hell of a surprise at the end.

Possibly one of the best books I've read! Took it on holiday last year and couldn't stop until I'd finished only a couple of £ on kindle etc.

John Niven's novel The Amateurs is fantastic, and golf based. It's very funny, but with some very poignant moments too:

'Bring Me the Head of Sergio Garcia' - Tom Cox, again. Tremendous stuff.

"A Good Walk Spoiled" by John Feinstein is a good holiday read. Provides a good insight into life inside the ropes.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

The Long and Short of It by Gary Wolstenholme gives a good insight on English Amateur Golf.

Try "No hiding in the Open" by John Hoskison. A good read and a hell of a surprise at the end.

I would certainly agree with the above,

and then follow it up with this,

Both superb and forever linked.
