And If You Play Golf, You're My Friend: Further Reflections of a Grown Caddie
Since the publication of "Harvey Penick's Little Red Book," the world has almost literally beaten a path to Harvey Penick's door.

I finished this book in 2001 and almost immediately trimmed 10 strokes off my golf game. Almost overnight. The book is really a collection of short stories, lessons, and musings of one of golf's great coaches. I refer to it often and should study it more, as I am always re-discovering some bit of wisdom in there, whether it be about golf or about life.
Oh, I would love to have a golf instructor like Harvey! He gives great tips in this book. I took a TON of notes to help me remember. He includes some wonderful stories too. Perfect vacation read - golfing vacation, of course! Torrey Pines, here I come!!

Harvey Penick reminds me of John Wooden with his gentle demeanor, matter of fact storytelling, and wisdom. In this book, Penick narrates dozens of short tales from his years as a pro in Austin that reveal golf tips, humor, and a lot of life lessons.
If you could combine memoirs with advice for life, you might end up with this book. You do not need to be a golfer to enjoy it. I would also recommend this book to educators for it reinforces the concept that simpler is better.
More tips on golf and a number of personal observations on well known golfers. If you have the first book, you need the second one, too.
Not quite as good as Little Red Book but still excellent. Great title too
This guy has a simple approach to golf and life. I think I would like him.
Picks up where the Little Red Book left off. Simply a must-read.
