Hey guys! I'm looking for a good book to read, of course, golf related. I have read paper tiger and the big miss in the past few months. I'm open to any suggestion.
Thanks

Dead Solid Perfect, Dan Jenkins.
The Natural Golf Swing by George Knudson and Lorne Rubenstein. Really enjoyed it! Got the kindle e-book version.
The Elements of scoring by Raymond Floyd.
'Moe and Me' by Lorne Rubenstein. Coincidentally, just as I finished this book I was in a funeral home in the Waterloo area helping to finalize a service for my mother-in-law and they had a huge carpet and pictures of Moe everywhere. He happens to be buried there.
John Daly's book is a light and fun look into his gongshow of a life
Tales from Q-School (John Feinstein), The Match (Mark Frost) and Afternoons with Mr. Hogan (Jody Vasquez ) are some of the better ones I've read lately
My top recommendations:
Open - Feinstein
Good Walk Spoiled - Feinsein
The Last Putt - Hayes and B. Murphy
Golf in the Kingdom - M. Murphy (Fiction)
Rookie on Tour was quite a good read.
Written by Carl Paulsen who documented his up and down life trying to earn and KEEP his card on the PGA Tour.
He earned a little over three million dollars over a 15+ year career but appears to be out of pro golf at this point, partly due to back issues. A good story and a good read about a guy and a life you wouldn't hear much about otherwise...
I have ordered A good walk spoiled and Tales of Q-school. Thanks for all of your suggestions, i will go through them in the next year for sure.
The Majors- John Feinstein
Everything by either Feinstein OR Rubenstein will be fine reads!
I second that emotion, both excellent writers.Quote:

The match is easily my favorite and I have read all those mentioned above.
