Golf Holiday Reading

[Vardon11LDN]

I am on holiday for 10 days and love to read. Can anybody recommend any good golf books? I have read all three Mark Frost golf books (which I loved) and the following autobiography's Poulter, Monty, Seve and Faldo.

Nearly finished Steve Williams book (on kindle), better than I was expecting as he actually has an opinion and is prepared to share it. Including his dislike of certain golfers on tour.

I have nearly finished that one too. I have also read "The Big Miss" which is another good insight into Tiger.

It's time for my standard 'Four iron in the soul' and 'An American Caddie in St Andrews' responses to these threads. So there you go, both great reads.

Can't argue. Nice Jumper by Tom Cox - or Bring Me The Head Of Sergio Garcia by the same author if you want something much lighter

No hiding in the open by John hoskison

A good walk spoiled by John Feinstein

Preferred Lies by Andrew Greig

Picked up my Christmas and New year Holiday golf reading today from local Oxfam. The Match by Mark Frost and The Pro by Burch Harmon.

Former is about the 1956 match between Hogan, Nelson, Venturi and Ward - the latter is Harmon writing on his father's thoughts on Golf and Life
£1.99 each. Bargain. Will wrap them up and give them to myself as a present from Santa

Four Iron In The Soul is a cracking read - good call.

No hiding in the open by John hoskison

This all day long

Of course Four iron in the soul, An American Caddie in St Andrews and A course called Ireland by Tom Coyne too

 

[sweaty sock]

Isnt this info half a decade late?

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Isnt this info half a decade late?

couldn't be bothered looking for a more recent Golf Reading thread - besides - even if it is half a decade old...that's almost contemporaneous with the books

 

[DeanoMK]

Finished The Match last week, thoroughly enjoyed it. No hiding in The Open was also very good.

Zen Golf is another one I read this year which I recommend and also both of the 'The Lost Art of Playing Golf/Putting' books.

Another vote for "4 iron in the soul."

Anything by Harvey Pennick too

 

[ScienceBoy]

people still read books?
