I've read this book at least a dozen times. It's by one of my favorite authors, Harvey Penick. Except Harvey really isn't an author at all, but rather a wonderful teacher and an incredible storyteller.
The book is an easy read that you won't be able to put down. It is a compilation of anecdotes with some teachings thrown in. As you get engrossed, it feels like you are hanging out with Harvey on a summer day, either hitting balls on the driving range or sitting on his porch drinking lemonade.
The book was published in 1996 after Harvey died at age 90, but it is still as relevant today as when it was hot off the presses. What's more is you don't need to be a golfer to enjoy the book.
If you are a golfer, it will become one of your favorite books along with his first book, "Harvey Penick's Little Red Book: Lessons and Teachings from a Lifetime in Golf."
Finally, some of Harvey's most famous pupils were Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, and Kathy Witworth. Ben won the 1995 Masters a week after Harvey died and dedicated the win to his friend and teacher, Harvey Penick.
