 No more bogey cliches'
It seems no one writing a bad review of this book can stop themselves from describing it as either a double or triple bogey. I'll continue in theis vein. While certainly not an eagle or a birdie. it's a solid par. The stories have so much drama, it sometimes made me quake like standing over a 6' putt to win the club championship. Very few of us get to feel the pressure these players are under. The many years of work are on the line and the hopes and dreams of themselves and loved ones. Feinstein is a great sports writer. While this book is far from his best, it is still rife with the sweat and tears of professionals written with a big heart.

 Q School
Couldn't put it down. If you're a golfer this is a must read. If you aren't a golfer, but like real drama this is also for you. Feinstein gives you everything you need to understand it all and be intrigued. He's a terrific writer.
Disappointed
I really enjoyed A Good Walk Spoiled and picked this book up when I was looking for something a little less heavy than what I had been reading. Granted, it is an easy read and won't strain your brain. However, my biggest complaint is the constant repeating of facts and anecdotes. This really drove me insane as I can remember something that I had just read a couple of pages back! The player stories just never really "tugged" at me nor made me really care about their stories very much. In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have expected much lightness when reading about Q School and maybe it really isn't that interesting of an event. The book is OK, but don't expect too much.
Great Book for Golf Nuts
Husband opened this book on Christmas morning, and didn't put it down until he finished. He's talked about it ever since, so he must have liked it. Highly recommend this book for those who aspire to improve at golf.
