Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul: Stories of Insight, Inspiration and Laughter on the Links (Chicken Soup Series)

Rating:
Summary: Something to offer even the non-golfer
Review: I expected this book to only be of interest to the golfer. But reading a friend's copy on a plane convinced me to pick it up for myself; there are great stories in here, that apply the lessons of golf to life. And, frankly, the "no name" contributors are often more touching than their more famous peers. Good stuff.

Summary: I cried and laughed, truly captures the spirit of Golf
Review: Story after Story held my attention. I cried openly and minutes later laughed out-loud. Very enjoyable reading. Captures the spirit, meaning and value of the game of golf. These stories can be read over and over to make you feel good or to keep you in line with the way to live, enjoy and approach life.

Summary: a must for golfers
Review: This read with the 101 different short stories and catchy quotes was very entertaining. I especially liked the one with the little girl that was playing by herself and carded a hole in one, unwitnessed, until the engineer of a passing train(the course boardered a nearby railway)sent a well wishing letter to her at the course. This and many others typify real golf experience to us golfers. If you golf, do yourself a favor and read this.

Summary: OK, I Guess
Review: Why can't books of inspiration and insight have some humor that illustrates the points being made. I found this tape to be maudlin and overwrought with poignancy which did not inspire me nor shed any new insights. The stories were ok, but there is a lot more to golf than what I heard on this tape. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
