There’s only a few days left til Father’s Day and if you’re special one is a golfer, here’s a site that will give you some great golf gift ideas and a 5% coupon to boot.

Click thru and see if you think you’re Dad might get all crazied up over some of the golf gifts they have.

How would you like to own the same headcover that Natalie Gulbis owns ?

Click thru to the Winning Edge Designs website and buy the same Fierce Swan that Natalie uses and it has her autograph embroidered on it.

You can also see a headcover that looks like Gary McCord, a Luck of the Irish headcover for all you golfers whose name ends with Hannigan, a Rocky the Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose, if you’re near my age and used to watch them outsmart Boris and Natasha, a Little Duckie hybrid cover that I’m going to order and many, many others.

By the way, you guys over at Winning Edge need to sponsor Travelling Golfer and I’ll give you some website advice, as I saw some simple tweaks that would help your search engine rankings with very little work.

I like simple things !

I was recently sent a copy of this book and it took me forever to read it … because I kept going back and re-reading whole chapters !

John Feinstein has done it again. Another well written book with insider info that you won’t read anywhere else.

It’s a fascinating inside look behind the history, the players and tales of a school so tough that few make it thru to the big dance.

Stories of a ball landing on a discarded divot, to a back giving out at just the wrong moment, to a player signing for bogie he never made and more, this book has all the horror stories and the feel good stories that you’ll never find anywhere else.

You’ll read the stories of Jaxson Brigman, Casey Martin, Peter Jacobsen and more and you’ll be glad, like me, that you don’t have to do this for a living !

Now for the best part - I’m going to give away this book to one of the people who comment on this post.

That way we can get another review, if you have a golf blog or at least another fan of John’s work will be rewarded.

I’ll check back at the end of next week and pick one lucky reader to get this book sent to them.

Leave a comment and you might win a book !

I don’t want you to forget that there’s still time to donate, help Ron Mon and win some EIDOLON Golf wedges.

In case you missed the post, I promised to let Ron Mon draw names from his list of donors who pledge at least $50.

Click thru and help Ron Mon exceed his goal and you’ll be eligible for a set of wedges that will change the way you look at the short game.

You can donate any time before he golf’s his butt off on June 18th.

But why wait, do it today.
