WHY HAS THE TOPIC OF GOLF produced such a deep shelf of great books?
As someone who writes and reads golf books, I became curious why the game was so popular as literature. Yes, we all check scores of tournaments, online and in the sports pages, but we also turn to bookshelves and take down a golf novel or history of the game to read at night or on winter afternoons when there is no tournament on television.
I see several reasons why golf is so attention-grabbing and addictive.
