"No Hiding in the Open" by John Hoskinson.
I'm reading the sequel to it now and to not give away the twist in the tale I won't tell the title.
I emailed John after reading it to tell him what a fabulous book it was and I got a reply almost straight away.
He is playing on the Seniors Tour now, and is at Royal Birkdale at the end of July.

Half way through "Four iron in the soul" when I seen it recommended on here excellent read so far.

I was ploughing through this thread thinking "I know what I'll recommend"
You beat me to it and .... I went on to read his follow up with as much, possibly more, interest than the original.
Good call.

Moe & Me, by Lorne Rubenstein. The story of Moe Norman, tag line on the cover is a quote from Tiger Woods along the lines of 'Only 2 golfers have ever truly owned their swing; Bern Hogan and Moe Norman'.
And another vote for "No Hiding in the Open".

Paper tiger is a good read.
Read both and also email John and got a very quick reply.John was in the same group I was caddying in at a Senior Tour event back in 08, he's a really nice guy, what a story he's got to tell!
Other good reads are;

Jezza and Fergus's book "Great golfing debates" is worth a look - I believe Jezza mag have a spare copy after last week........
And if you ask him nicely I'm sure he'll sign it too

Four Iron in the Soul is great.
Another I'm currently reading is Preferred Lies, by Andrew Greig. It's a golf book and more than that - wonderfully written and I'd recommend to anyone.

Bring me the head of Sergio Garcia and Nice Jumper. Both by Tom Cox. Both good reads, the former about Tom trying to qualify for the Open and the latter about junior golf...I could relate my experiences to that book, very funny.
Depends what you're after of course, but Preferred Lies is, for me, one of the best golf books I've ever read, although all of these recommended by shivasirons are also very good reads...

And if I can just recommend Great Golf Debates by Jeremy Ellwood & Fergus Bisset too... no? Fair enough...

Thought four iron in the soul was really interesting as Ross stays just a long the road, so to speak, in Prestwick and the author was also in the Bluebells !!
Have recently read John Daly's autobiography my life in and out of the rough and enjoyed that one as well.
