Looking for a Good Book Talking about Golf?
There are countless books about golf. Yet getting your hands on
one worth your time and money can be difficult. Standing and browsing your
local bookstore, hearing about a good book on golf from a friend or reading a
review somewhere. These are some of the ways that we find golf materials to
read. For those who love to read and who love to play golf. What could be
better than a great golf tale, finding out about the games storied history or
learning about the legends of the game? So, I will throw my two cents in on the
subject and recommend some truly great reads regarding the wonderful world of
golf. These suggested books talking about golf are not about golf
instruction.
Some of the Best Golf Books
 You may or may not have
heard of sports writer John Feinstein. He has written numerous
sports related titles. But he keeps coming back to golf. As
of now his latest is called
Caddy For Life: The Bruce Edwards Story . Bruce Edwards was Tom
Watson's caddy for 40 years. By most accounts this is one of Feinstein's best
works. His other golf titles include
Open: Inside the Ropes at Bethpage Black ,
A Good Walk Spoiled: Days and Nights on the PGA Tour ,
The Majors: In Pursuit of Golf's Holy Grail , and
The First Coming Tiger Woods: Master or Martyr. You can't seem to go
wrong with any of John Feinstein's books, but when you want a book talking
about golf, the stories he tells relating to the game we all love to play are
some of the best books talking about golf.
Golf Inspiration and Business
 If some of the golf
books mentioned above are not inspirational enough for you, then maybe
something in the vein of
Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul . This book and its
Second Round follow up provide short
stories to inspire and motivate. These follow in the mold of the rest of the
Chicken Soup books with all the stories revolving around
golf. On the business front,
Business Golf: The Art of Building Business Relationships on
the Links is an excellent choice.
For the businesswoman,
On Course for Business: Women and Golf is and superb book
talking about golf for business and advancing your career.
Golf Biographies
 Want to know more about
some of the legends of the game. Biographies are not really my thing. Most that
I have attempted to read are slow and boring and don't give you any real
insight into the person you are reading about. This tends to be true in the
world of
golf biographies too. Three golf biographies that go
against the grain in this respect are
Getting Up & Down: My 60 Years in Golf by Ken Venturi,
Jack Nicklaus: My Story by Jack Nicklaus, and
A Golfer's Life by Arnold Palmer. All
these make a great choice for a book talking about golf and the legends who
have played it.
A Book Talking about Golf and Its Storied History
 The game of golf has
been around for some time. To get a feel for the richness of this sport we love
to play some background is needed. For a more recent history of golf try
The Wicked Game: Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and
the Business of Modern Golf . This book talking
about golf is a hybrid of sorts. It uses a biographical approach to tell the
story of the recent history of golf. For a look a little further back try
The Illustrated History of Golf . For a different spin
on golf history take a look at
Rules
of the Green: A History of the Rules of Golf. This is an interesting
look at how the rules of golf have changed
over the years from a list of 13 simple guidelines in 1744 to the frustrating
number we have today.
When you are not reading a
book talking about golf, you want to play golf and when you
play golf you want to save on greens fees, so you can play even more golf. To
do this we have turned to the old golf coupon
book. These are great and you can find them in your local area. Yet, there
is a better way to go, the
Golf
Card . With the card you can save at thousands of
courses around the United States, Canada and Mexico. You will find discounts at
golf courses in your area, but if you travel the
Golf
Card is even a better deal.
