from Harper
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
When I first heard of this book I was afraid that it would be a shot by shot account of Tiger Woods year. After purchasing this book I was quickly delighted to find that it wasn't.
To me, the book is as much about Mr. Smiley as it is Tiger Woods. Its going to the tournaments that Tiger is... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Just as Tiger Woods is the real deal as a golfer and as a human, so is his book "How I Play Golf."
I bought this book when it first came out. Seven years later, it continues to be a reference I use over and over.
This book is well written, well organized, and is printed on high quality... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Simon & Schuster Audio
Customer Review:
Harvey Penick's Little Red Book: Lessons and Teachings from a Lifetime in Golf first came to my attention in the comic strip Judge Parker. After that, I looked it up at Amazon.com and decided to order copies for my two sons who enjoy golf. They were pleasantly surprised when Amazon delivered a copy... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Arnie & Jack: Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
I enjoyed the stories about Palmer and Nicklaus, especially the account of their first meeting at Athens Country Club in 1958. Unfortunately, the writing is surprisingly poor. O'Connor uses every cliche and trite phrase to describe the players, almost ruining the otherwise interesting stories. I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
John Montague, who's real name was LaVerne Moore, was a sensation in mid- 1930's Hollywood for his alleged super-human prowess as a golfer (tales of his prowess were possibly true, partially true, imagined or invented, the book does not really tell us and maybe it would be impossible at this point... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
Right now, I'd rank this third among the best sports books I've ever read, and I've enjoyed quite a few of them over the years. I loved this book because it got me so involved with the main characters. Author Mark Frost really makes you care about Francis Ouimet, his 10-year-old caddy Eddie Lowery... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
There seems to be a run lately on golf books in which the objective, it seems, is to show how many wild, wacky and - yes - wonderfully diverse ways the sport is played and enjoyed. But for my greens fee, few do it better than Lidz, a former Sports Illustrated writer who now dazzles for Conde Nast... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
