| | Description:
On those magnificent days on which your drives split the fairway down the middle and your wedge shots leave you putting for birdie, you think: "I wonder if I could do this for a living." After all, guys in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, guys no one heard of until recently, are making planeloads of money on the various golf tours (and buying private planes to take them from one big-money tournament to the next). A Good Walk Spoiled is a bit of a reality check. John Feinstein chronicles the struggles of the top golfers in the game, as well as those trying to get onto the PGA Tour. These are gifted players who've devoted their lives to the game, and on any given day they could just flat out stink. A Good Walk Spoiled is a completely engaging book from first page to last, a wonderfully observed and masterfully told story of pain and profit in the world's most frustrating sport. | |  | | Similar Products

This book is really a private look into the PGA tour. It follwos a number of golfers including Curtis Strange, Tom Watson, Nick Faldo, and Johnnie Miller. It takes place during the 1993 pga tour season. Feinstein is a great writer, and this book is very well written. A great read! | |  Feinstein is Fantastic
This book was simply a joy to read - I couldn't put it down. Granted, those who enjoy golf are going to love this book more than those who don't, but for an intimate look at the PGA tour and some of its most interseting players, this book is simply the best. There is no question Feinstein knows what he is talking about and that he got really close to a lot of these players, knowing as much as you do about these guys makes watching them play all the more enjoyable as well. It also helps that Feinstein is such a talented writer - certainly in a league all his own when it comes to covering the PGA Tour. | | Loved it, a new perspective on the game...
If you are a golfer, read this....gives you a new appreciation for the game and people that play it. It looks so different on television.... |
