Good Insider Stuff on Tournament Week

Breezy, easy to read anecdotal insights into what goes on inside and outside the ropes at golf tournaments. This is a real light summer read with some new stuff on competitive golf. I liked it.

Strege aces PGA Tour

Finally a sports book that breaks from the cliche and takes us somewhere we can't ordinarily go - inside the ropes. Strege's research is meticulous and his style is refreshing. This is the kind of stuff I wish I could read every week, but never find in the newspaper and seldom see in the weekly golf magazines. If you want to know what's going on on the other side of the PGA Tour, read this book. I'm not a big sports-book fan and I've attempted without much success to read some of the more recent golf works like The Majors. This is the first one I've been compelled to complete. The practice-round betting anecdotes alone are worth the cover price.

Great Golf Read

Very interesting look at the PGA Tour. It goes way beyond the course and finally we get to learn a little more about the lives, habits, personalities of the athletes like we do for athletes in other sports and entertainers.
