Golfers Biographies

[Range_Ball]

Has anyone read any good biographies on golfers past or present which are actually worth a read if so have you got any good reccomendations as i have just finished SEVE "Golfs Flawed Genius". (not really a biography as it was written by Robert Green) Still and interesting read.

Regards

John Daly- My Life in and out of the rough is a fantastic read, also Montys is pretty good too

I liked Monty's but Clarkes did my head in.

If you want I can send you my copy of Monty's.

PM me if you do.

Not exactly a golfers biography but Caddy For Life by John Feinstein about Tom Watsons caddy Bruce edwards is well worth a read.

Have some tissues ready though it's a weepie!

Andi...........agreed John Daly's book was good.Rest are all written by 'ghost writers'and are therefore sanitised and basically crap(no law,libel suits,etc,,)
Give us the truth on who the 'dicks and the pissheads are are and I'll buy them all'

Cheers Jimbo(no kisses)

Dalys is a great read and agree on Montys too.....another great read is Frank Macavennies,oh no sorry forgot, he was a footballer but I do believe he has had several holes in one......

Read, Monty's, Faldo's and Seve's and I'd rate them in that order for interest.

When you buy an autobiography I think you expect to read something you never knew about the person, a little insight into how they work, how they think. Seve's was just so unrevealing about the man and I was very disappointed. Faldo's was very illuminating, especially about how he basically held Seve in such awe, which I think you can see whenever they meet.

I really fancy Faldo's is it writen by him though? Does it matter?

Blood, Sweat and Tees - Rich Beem is an interesting read.
