I have no idea who Leon Crump is or was, but he wrote one great book. the life this guy lead is full of wine women and song. And he bet on every damn bit of it. If you like golf, gambling and drinking, which I'm guessing you do since you are reading this........go get this book.
2. JOHN DALY MY LIFE IN AND OUT OF THE ROUGH
If you thought he was a mess before, wait until you read this.
3. THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED
I wrote about this in the movie post but I need to mention it here. It is a little slow in parts but really goes into detail abou the way golf was in it's infancy. To think that a little kid caddied for the winner of the US OPEN is, in this day an age, unbelievable.4. A GOOD WALK SPOILED
This was the first golf only book I ever read. Starting with the 1993 Ryder Cup and continuing through the next full season, Feinstein offers a fly-on-the-wall account of one year on the PGA Tour. He tries mightily to breathe life into extended portraits of players like Brian Henninger, Paul Goydos, Davis Love and a host of others. It was a good read, the thing that I remember taking out of it is that the one thing all of these guys have in common is that they all practiced until their hands bled. Mine have not.
5. WHO'S YOUR CADDY?
Rick Reilly caddies for a bunch of people. I don't think it was that great, but I couldn't think of a fifth book.
