The
Greatest Game Ever Played by Mark Frost
The story of Francis Ouimet, the first amateur to win the U.S. Open golf tournament, is just too good to be true: it's Rocky without the sequels, it's Jack without his beanstalk, it's Tiger without Nike. But it's true, and as told by veteran thriller writer Frost, it's the most compelling sports book since Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling Seabiscuit. |

Five
Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf by Ben Hogan
Ben Hogan's premise in this 1957 classic is driven home in bold letters: "THE AVERAGE GOLFER IS ENTIRELY CAPABLE OF BUILDING A REPEATING SWING AND BREAKING 80." Religions are founded on less, and Hogan's detailed analyses and illustrated demonstrations of grip, stance, posture, and the two basic components of the swing make up a sacred book. Though its very simplicity seems dated, this is the tome of technique that should serve as the foundation of every golf library. |

Zen
Golf: Mastering the Mental Game by Joseph Parent
The best players know that great golf comes from confidence and concentration -- the ability to stay in the present and block out distraction. Achieving a clear mind is also at the heart of Buddhist philosophy and practice. In his highly original and groundbreaking book, Dr. Joseph Parent, both a noted PGA TOUR instructor and a respected Buddhist teacher, draws on this natural connection to teach golfers how to play with more consistency and less frustration, and how to lower their scores. |

Dave
Pelz's Short Game Bible by Dave Pelz
As the reigning rabbi on the mysteries of golf from 100 yards in, Pelz has earned the right to anoint his expansive instruction on the short game a "Bible." A scientist by training, he's analyzed the macros and dissected the micros to come up with a gospel for pros (Lee Janzen, Vijay Singh, and Anika Sorenstam, to name a few disciples) and weekend hackers alike. Pelz fills his scripture with photos, illustrations, charts, and plenty of sage advice on pitching, chipping, sandplay, putting, equipment, execution, mechanics, technique, practice, attitude, lots of questions, and plenty of answers. |

I Play Golf by Tiger Woods

Unlike most golf guides, and perhaps somewhat surprising from a player best known for his long game, How I Play Golf begins with the short game--putting, chipping, and pitching--before moving onto swing mechanics and hitting off the tee. |
