Easy, breezy quick read. This Rating will only be this high if you are golf crazy.

[Paulette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice read aloud to a shut-in who has always been an avid golfer and fan of the game.

An only so so account of PGA Tour players, events and locales through the ages. I thought there would be more meat on this bone, but the book left me unsatisfied, like an average restaurant that serves too small portions.
