    Good golf read

    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
    Will I learn how to chip?

    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
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    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 second that emotion, both excellent writers.

    My all time favourite is Michael Murphys Golf In the Kingdom which has also been turned into a movie. It's a mystical tale about a mystical caddy who's name escapes me.
