There are various anthologies of the golf writings of Henry Longhurst, most of which can be found second hand cheaply on the internet. However, the one Longhurst book everyone should read is his autobiography, My Life and Soft Times. We've mentioned it before on here, but I'm effectively bumping it up. Yes, there is some golf, including his winning the German Amateur. But it is his descriptions of all sorts of bizarre events such as Blondin at Niagara, Castlerea at Ballybunion, the fire watcher after his London flat was bombed, and so on. It is story telling of a high order and the humour (very English) is of the sort that makes you laugh out loud, even on a train journey! His use of English is immaculate and you savour all the nuances of a skilled writer.
I once asked Peter Alliss if he might read it for broadcast on the BBC. He jumped at the chance (no mean wordsmith himself). Sadly the BBC wouldn't commission it - probably because it was written by an author who was neither black, lesbian nor disabled.
