Golf Books - Check Out My Collection

Being a golf nut it was natural for me to collect a series of books about golf. In fact, I'm thirty three. This collection is eclectic in the sense that it covers every aspect of the game that has been written about. Some of these books were given to me, but most were purchased in my years of pursuing this crazy game. (Or is that the game makes you crazy?)

For the interest of other nuts in golf course looking for a good book to read, I have classified my collection of themes. Admittedly, we can discuss about my ranking, but should provide assistance to anyone looking for a particular course topic. Below my collection is divided into the following categories.

• History (the books of the Old Course)
• Collections of reviews and quotes from writers and players
• Golf Instruction
• The mental aspect of the game
• Golf Course Architecture
