For starters...Sir Walter and Mr. Jones by Stephen Lowe depicted the diiiferent but interconnected lives and the development of golf during the rise of these two great champions. Lowe won a USGA Book Award for his effort.

The Greatest Game Ever Played (also a USGA Award Winner) and The Grand Slam (another book about Jones) are two outstanding books by Mark Frost. Both are well reasearched and enlightening. If Frost could have got the ending to the 80's telivision shown "Twin Peaks" right, I would have been much happier, but that is another story for another time.

Anything by my alltime favorite golf writer P.G. Wodehouse: The Golf Ominbus, the Clicking of Cuthbert or The Heart of a Goof are my favorite three. Humerous fiction as told by the Oldest Member. You won't be able to put it down. Light a fire, pour youself a single malt and sit back in your easy chair. Wodehouse will never let you down.

Another outstanding book of golf humor is David Ferherty's second book "Somewhere in Ireland a Village is Missing an Idiot". I was reading it late one night in bed and laughing so much, I continuously kept waking my wife up. Needless to say I slept on the couch that night.

If you are interested in the history of golf, especially in America, get a copy of The Story of Golf in American by Herbert Warren Wind, another author that will not disappoint.

I will post a few more when time allows. If you have a specific favorite area let me know: golf course architecture, tournaments, fiction, clubmaking, mental side, etc.
