If you know anything at all about John Daly—and if you don’t, what in the hell are you doing with this book in your hands?—you know he approaches the game of golf from an, uh, slightly different perspective than your average two-time major winner. How different? Well, for starters, Long John thinks the PGA Tour ought to permit Bermuda shorts, make carts mandatory, let him wear his hair down to his butt if he wants to, and strip-search tournament patrons at the entrance gate to keep cameras and cell phones off the course. In Golf My Own Damn Way, you’ll take a virtual ride on Big John’s magic bus as he tells you the best way to grip it so you can rip it. Looking for a sure cure to bunkerphobia? It’s here.

Francis Ouimet (1893–1967) was an awkward, relatively unknown twenty-year-old amateur and former caddy when he walked across the street from his modest home in Brookline, Massachusetts, and stunned the sports world by upsetting famed British golfers Harry Vardon and Ted Ray to win the 1913 U.S. Open in a dramatic playoff at The Country Club (TCC). His spectacular victory made him America’s first golf hero, drew new fans to the sport, and forever altered the image of golf as a stuffy, rich man’s game dominated by British and Scottish players. In this engaging memoir, first published in 1932, Ouimet fondly reminisces about his life in golf and gives sage advice on playing the game. With charm, wit, and a passion for the [Read More...]

What’s Your Golf Personality? According to Dr. Alan Shapiro, the personality traits that cause problems in your everyday life can also wreak havoc on your golf game. If you’re a worrier, chances are you’re also anxious at the tee. If you’re a control freak, you probably overanalyze your swing and tend to freeze up over the ball. If you have a short fuse, there is a good chance you’re a club thrower. Using his experience as a psychologist a [Read More...]

The key to Slammin’ Sammy Snead’s Better Golf is it’s subtitle, The Lessons I’ve Learned. An Obi-Wan Kenobi of the links, his style is less that of teacher than mentor; in a folksy approach as languid as his swing, he happily shares his knowledge rather than preaching it. In addition to offering sound advice, Snead’s book is fun. His anecdotes are as colorful as the bands he traditionally wrapped around his signature straw hats.

In Better Golf the Sam Snead Way: The Lessons I’ve Learned, the inimitable pro interweaves engaging anecdotes of golf’s winningest players with time-tested advice on grip, putting, stance, trouble shots, and getting around the greens. 67 photos. Four 2-pp color in [Read More...]

When John Montague died alone on May 25, 1972, age 69, in a fleabag hotel in Studio City, Calif., his body went unclaimed for a week. Hardly a fitting end for a man who once rubbed shoulders with Bing Crosby, Richard Arlen, Oliver Hardy and the other Hollywood swells who golfed, drank and caroused at the Lakeside Country Club in L.A. In the capable hands of bestselling sportswriter Montville (Ted Williams), Montague’s is a quintessentially American story of a man from a hardscrabble background who found himself in the glamorous, easy-money world of Hollywood. But Montague had a past that caught up to him. Having fled a charge of armed robbery in upstate New York, Montague was brought back in 1937 to st [Read More...]
