2008-06-19 Triumph of a Q School book

I really enjoyed John Feinstein's books on the PGA Tour and Qualifying Schools, but GOLF ON THE EDGE takes the idea to a whole new dimension.

Instead of just reporting on who qualified and who didn't from the 2007 PGA Tour School, the author looks at the stories behind seven of the players involved in the process.

These are real people with mortgages and lives outside of the golf course like you and I. Tiger Woods is in one world, we all live in the other. And so do the likes of Sion Bebb and Andrew Raitt who aspire to be just like Tiger.

This is a magnificent book and one that will lead me to not just follow the careers of these seven players from now on, but also to take a look further down the leaderboard of all events on the European Tour.

In terms of birdies, pars and bogeys in golf books, this is a driver, 6-iron on the green and 20 foot putt for eagle.
