Saw the thread about a golf book and just curious on any other recommendations they may have for a good golf book to read.

I thought this thread was titled "Garth Brooks" when I first glanced at it.

Tom Coyne has a number of good golf books.

A Course Called Ireland is good.
A Course Called Scotland, not quite as good.
I'm currently reading A Course Called America, which I'm enjoying.

Bobby Jones on Golf.

The best instruction book despite the lack of pictures and illustrations. Bobby Jones is a wonderful writer as his education pedigree includes Harvard and Georgia Tech.

I keep reading it over and over. For 30 years.

Worst book of all.

Ben Hogan Five Fundamentals.

So poorly written that many apologists had to write "Hogan said... But he meant..." books.

If you follow his teaching, you will push block slice shank your shots while you ingrain irreversible early extension.

Golf is not a game of perfect - mental game

These + Who's Your Caddy (Reilly) and The Dogged Victims of Inexorable Fate (Jenkins).

The Jenkins books are dated, but very funny - especially if you are familiar with Ft Worth.

The Reilly books almost seem like an homage to Dan Jenkins' golf writing, but hilarious.

Agreed went from a 12-14 to consistent mid 90s with addition of the yips off the tee from this book. Still fighting the overthinking/removal of natural athletic swing I got as a result of trying to apply the tips from the book.

Yes he does!

"Paper Tiger" was an absolute favorite of mine. Literally had me laughing out loud on some descriptions he gives of some of his rounds on the golf course

This X100. Awesome book. If you want to get grounded, then get on Youtube and watch Paul Azinger's eulogy at Payne Stewart's funeral/memorial service.

Agree with this - not only was the book very insightful into Moe, but it contained a few gems into how he approached the game or his psychology that I thought were interesting.

I've shared the "Sally Gunnell" story with a number of my friends.
