Tuesday Non Fiction: Reading On Topic

I love watching golf.  I played in high school, but that is a long time ago.  My parents both golfed and my dad often had the television tuned in to the Golf Channel. My husband golfs, and so do most of our extended families.  Reading about golf is one way I still enjoy the sport- and it is far less frustrating than actually playing.  

 

Rory McIlroy's win at the Masters this year was perfect timing for his biography being released. I had it next to my night stand to start reading, and my husband quickly snatched it up.  He has already finished it and given it back to me so I can enjoy it, and then we can discuss it.

A few years ago we both read Tiger Woods by Jeff Benedict. This is a chunker of a book, but I feel like I grew up watching Tiger and his athletic prowess is something to behold. However, his personal life does not necessarily make him seem like a nice guy, and with his latest struggles, I've been thinking about this book a bit more.

I can still vividly recall A Good Walk Spoiled sitting next to my dad's side of the bed. Feinstein's sports writing is always something I enjoy reading.  And still on my TBR are The Match: The Day The Game of Golf Changed Forever by Mark Frost and Seven Days in Augusta: Behind the Scenes at the Masters by Mark Cannizzaro.

I know there are plenty of other golf related titles.  I've read a few others and have a fiction golf-related book checked out from the library right now.  

Do you have a sport you enjoy reading about?
