An insight into Professional golf
 |
|
Not as good as "A Good Walk Spoiled" but still gives an interesting insight into the golf world and the majors of 1998. Written around a number of players Fred Couples , David Duval , Mark OMeara, Jim Furyk , Steve Stricker, John Daly , Tiger Woods etc and for readers based in Europe there certainly appears to be an American bias. For instance Feinstein refers to incidents in the past for Vijay Singh (I know hes not from Europe) when he was accused of cheating but makes no such back reference to some of the American players who have been similarily accused (Mark OMeara was referred to for a while as Mark ONearer for instance) I never actually felt that I got to know the real person behind the player but as a golf book it still holds the interest and was enjoyable.

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.
