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". ( )
