Holiday books

[MrC]

Anyone recommend a good golf book to take?

I read the Sam Snead one the other year, cracking read.

Tommy's Honor
Darn that American spelling, is a book about old and young Tom Morris, their lives and the start of Golf as we know it and The open & St Andrews

Think it was also recently made into a film

Very good read indeed

 

[Dasit]

Paper Tiger

Just read it on my holiday, superb book and great writer

The film isn't bad, watched it last week on the plane coming back from my holiday.
Think I'll give the book a read as well.

Four Iron in the Soul by Lawrence Donegan is superb. Donegan is a journalist who decides to spend a year caddying on the European Tour. It's funny and a real eye-opener about golf in the mid-90s.

A Good Walk Spoiled by John Feinstein

 

[YamiKuriboh]

Who's your caddy by Rick Reilly. It's written by a sports journalist and covers his experience in caddying for pros and celebrities (Donald Trump, David Duval, John Daly etc). It's very gossipy and also very funny.

Sam Torrance: Legendary Tales from the 19th Hole

 

[JohnnyDee]

This thread comes up from time to time. On its last outing someone suggested this. I got it and I'm really enjoying it at the minute.

For fun and genius comedy prose then PG Wodehouse's Golf Omnibus is brilliant although might be a bit too old fashioned if you're a whippersnapper.
