Golfing Reads

[Scotty Cameron]

I'm not a one for reading, would rather watch a film to be honest, BUT, last year we went on holiday and I actually bought a book to read. In all honesty I thought I would not bother with it or start and maybe finish after 20 minutes.


Boy was I wrong, started it one morning and finished it after teatime the same day.


What book did I read ??????



Driven, by Nick Faldo
It gives a great insight into the man and how he became so focussed on everything he did. I loved reading this from beginning to end.

Dream on and Four Iron in the Soul are great. I have The Plane Truth For Golfers by Jim Hardy which is excellent

 

[TeeItHigh]

Phantom of the open. The story of Maurice flitcroft who pretended to be a professional golfer to play in the 1976 open, a funny true story well worth a read.

Since christmas I have read;

An American Caddie in St.Andrews which is excellent
Bring me the Head of Sergio Garcia
No hiding in the Open
Nice Jumper

(I spend a lot of time on the train ) I would probably rate them in that order. Other favourites are;

Tommy's Honour
Four Iron in the Soul
Preferred Lies
A Caddie for Life

I have just started reading Seve: Golf's flawed genius

Currently working my way through Dream golf the making of bandon dunes. It's a great read and is interesting to hear about the making of a course.

Before this I read jack Nicklaus's book which was a great insight to the man and his thoughts thought his career.

No limits and dream on were both good, got Paul Lawries autobio and Big Miss to read soon also

 

[Smiffy]

Maybe Smiffy could do a sequel about trying to break 90 :rofl::rofl:

I asked my Missus to pick up a copy of "How I got to single figures" by Homer J Simpson but it hasn't even got to the proof-reading stage yet
