Recently Read: Tales from Q School

After a streak of 2 bad reads, I actually enjoyed reading John Feinstein's Tales from Q School: Inside Golf's Fifth Major. If you are a golfer, and you're a fan of Feinstein's books (The Open and Let Me Tell You A Story are two of my favorite all time reads), you'll enjoy this book.

The book isn't perfect - it feels a little jumbled at times, and I wish Feinstein had spent more time going into the personal stories about individual players - but it's a great way to get insight into what goes on at Q School. It also gives you some idea as to who the guys are that fill out the mid section of the PGA Tour leaderboard each week, as well as how they got there.

If you're looking for another great golf book, and you've already read The Open and Missing Links, read Bud, Sweat and Tees. The book profiles Rich Beem's first year on the Tour, the year before he won the PGA. A hilarious read.
