David - bookcloseouts.com is a great resource for golf books. I have purchased MANY books from them. One of the best is a collection of golf tales called "The Greatest Golf Stories Ever Told." It is a must have for anyone who loves golf... and, makes a great gift. It's a great gift at the $24.95 cover price (at which I've purchased several), but it's now available on bookcloseouts.com for $4.19!!!

If you make a purchase use the coupon code ultimatecoupons-5 and you will get $5.00 off a purchase of $35 or more. Use the code ultimatecoupons-10 and you will get $10 off a purchase of $60 or more. These codes are valid through March 2009.

I was hoping for a copy of the Confidential Guide... >:( ;D
I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.
