The Greatest Game Ever Played...
That's the name of the book by Mark Frost that I have just finished reading. It's about my favourite game: Golf!
The story is about the 1913 US Open Golf, about Harry Vardon who is definately one of the greatest players the game has ever seen, about a budding amatuer named Francis Oiumet & about the fight for the title between Harry, Francis & Ted Ray.
The story is gripping & is the best Golf book I have read (and I have read quite a few). A must read for all golfers (and also for people who don't play the game, but enjoy it).
You can find more details on it at

I hear that a movie is also in the making based on the book. I just read about it at
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388980/
If the book is anything to go by, I think it will be a great movie! But then, most movies I have seen fall terribly short of the greatness of the book (as you might have inferred from my ramble, I am more of a book person than a movie person).
As the PGA tagline says, "These guys are good!"
