 Good  |

Not even close to being as good as "Playgrounds of the Gods" but still a worthwhile read . I would think that the appeal of this book would be restricted to golf fans only and therin lies the problem , there are some flaws in golfing terminology particularly regarding the handicap system etc.
Mr Stafford is also of the opinion that if he scores 9 over par on any course this will make him a 9 (single figured) handicap, which is not the case.
However despite these small critisisms this is still a readable book , efforts at the World Ice -golf , indoor putting and mini golf championships all are observed in a very warm, interesting style and the golfing personalities that Mr Stafford meets all come over as fun loving and human.
Worth a read.

Not usually being a fan of golf or biographies I couldnt resist being tempted by this book. Daly clearly has a story to tell and Newsham certainly hasnt held back. Obviously thoroughly researched, though Im not sure if he got the Carl Spackler muttering from Caddyshack absolutely correct. That aside, I believe everything else in it, innit.

A good read with a few minor flaws  |

Feinstein has compiled another entertaining and insightful account of a golfing year. His use of premiary quotes and anecdotes eluminate the reader as successfully as the excellent A Good Walk Spoiled . My one criticism is that Feinstein seems to lay far greater emphasis on the superstars of the game, apart from the chapters on Steve Stricker, who, lets face it, is almost a superstar. The concentation on the OMeeras, Couples and Woods of this world detracted from the real charm and empathy for the amateur golfer. Maybe its because the superstars are really not that interesting. I also detected a slight euro-phobe tendancy in the epilogue, come on John golfs bigger than that.
