Tales from Q School: Inside Golf’s Fifth Major
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 !

Feinstein’s work is first class for the insights he uncovers, but I am relieved to find that he has gone off at a tangent for his latest book, after the ‘ever-decreasing-circles’ trend of his previous golf titles.
First, there was ‘Good Walk Spoiled’, looking at the whole PGA Tour, then there was ‘The Majors’ looking at four Tour events, followed by ‘Open’, which focused on one of those four.
I honestly thought his next book would be called ‘Lunchtime at the Masters, Day 3′…
Hey Jeffrey,
I’m betting he’s having trouble deciding who to follow around next and his publisher is probably to blame for the effect you mention.
They probably just guess what people will want to read, rather than asking them what they’d like to read and THEN writing the book.
Thanks for coming by.
Feinstein usually does a good job with his books. I think I will enjoy it even more if it was free.
Oooh ! That was a good one Charlie.
You just may be in the lead.
