About this audiobook
WHAT DOES IT TAKE to win a major championship and reach the absolute pinnacle of golf? Through a season of the four tournaments -- the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship -- known collectively as the majors, John Feinstein takes us where the television cameras never go, both off the links and "inside the ropes", as he reveals the special challenges and rituals, the frustrations and exhilaration, that mark the lives and careers of the world's greatest golfers.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Here's where I now run off and put this author down as one of my favorites. I picked this book off a shelf in a Goodwill Opportunity Shop mostly because I liked the sexy black and gold spine design of the dust jacket. I had no idea who John Feinstein was (although I should have) and I was surprised to see that he had written "A Good walk Spoiled", a book with a title that made me think it was probably written by some Leslie Nielsen-type comedian and I couldn't be bothered with something like that; it would be a waste of time. Three pages into it and I definitely changed my mind. This book was interesting all the way. The writing style is easy to read and easy to enjoy; it is very good and not what I have found in my many other books on golf. In my opinion it is so much better than anything we expect to see from a "sports writer". The clever use of anecdote, interview responses and dry old fact has made the 1998 year's worth of the golf world's Major Tournaments into a precious reminder for us golf nuts and an enjoyable literary journey for people who like to read good writing - people like my wife. She says that you don't even have to know of the golfers named in the book before you can enjoy it.I will now buy, read and add to my collection the ill-named "A Good Walk Spoiled".
