I looked at the title and cringed. Nobody can “Learn to Play Golf In 10 Easy Lessons.” It’s impossible, right? Probably, but Neil Tappan’s new 160-page, 250-color photo book does its best to steer beginners into a lifetime of golf bliss. Tappin,… more »

Book 'Golf - A Good Walk & Then Some' by John Jenchura a stroll through the game's history
Send feedback »How can a 448-page book cover the history of golf dating back to 300 AD? Quite well, actually. The book, Golf - A Good Walk & Then Some by John Jenchura, does a nice job of hitting the highlights without being bogged down by all the little de… more »

John Andrisani has written almost as many golf books as Phil Mickelson has PGA Tour wins. Right now, Mickelson is the leader in the clubhouse with 39 wins, but with Lefty's up-and-down play the last 18 months and Andrisani still pumping out books, it’s l… more »

Send feedback »We’d all like to get behind the gates of Augusta National Golf Club. Instead, we have to settle for the images and stories CBS shares during its coverage of The Masters. Another intimate way to steal a glimpse down Magnolia Lane would be to read th… more »

“Golf Foreplay” isn’t just new book with a catchy title and a sassy cover. It’s got some substance to go with that style and ‘tude. Avid golfers like me tend to take for granted all we know about the game .. the on-course banter, the insider vocabula… more »

In 1986, I was a ripe old age of 13 and in eighth grade. And unfortunately, I wasn’t into golf. I regret not experiencing one of golf’s greatest majors, The Masters in 1986. Thank goodness for historical books like “One For The Ages,” the new boo… more »

My “oh wow” moment at Shanty Creek Resorts came while standing atop the slopes behind the Lakeview Hotel & Conference Center. On the horizon, out past the snowy Summit Village’s ski slopes, the setting sun hung over Lake Bellaire like a night lig… more »

'Think like a Caddie, Play like a Pro' book a worthy look at golf's underappreciated bagmen
Send feedback »I love the title of James Bartlett’s new book, “Think like a Caddie, Play like a Pro.” I guess I never really looked at golf like that, but I should. Caddies are analyzing yardages and wind directions and reading putts. They’re giving their player th… more »

Sorry to bombard you with travel awards, but this year offered such a variety of experiences – from outstanding golf, resorts and food – that I had to share separately on each subject. I don’t claim to be a restaurant critic but my palate knows a thi… more »

Welcome back to my 2010 travel golf awards. Today’s story focuses on golf resorts. I’ve never been a hotel snob … but this year could turn me into one. I rested my head at two hotels named to Conde Nast’s World’s Best list: The One&Only Palmilla… more »

I didn’t get to travel as much in 2010 as I did last year (see the 2009 awards column here … ), but that doesn’t mean this past golf season was any less special. In fact it may have been better. During a stretch in July, I played the best golf of my li… more »

I haven’t seen every golf book published this year, so don’t consider this top 10 list a declaration of the “best” golf books of the year. It’s pretty close, although the buzz is that the Rolex Top 1000 book (which I haven’t seen), is a home run. This st… more »
