Who's Better, Who's Best in Golf?: "Mr. Stats" Sets the Record Straight on the Top 50 Golfers of All Time

Kalb's books rank the greatest athletes in their sport, and this time he tackles golf. The Nicklaus chapter is priceless, and while I'm still not sure if he should be ranked ahead of Ben Hogan and behind Tiger, I enjoy Kalb's viewpoint. It's hard not to enjoy a book that stirs debates like this one does. You can't believe the pictures that are included in the center of the book. Some are stirring, some are humorous. This book has everyone it should...including great old golfers like Middlecoff, Demaret, and the like. Sam Snead fourth all-time? Ahead of Bobby Jones and Arnold Palmer?

I've bought both of Kalb's previous books and while he's enraged me with some of his opinions, he has also intrigued and entertained me. I think his golf book is his best yet. It's more readerly and isn't as bulky as the other two. I found myself wanting to take in all of the entries. His pick of five female golfers was quite interesting and rounded out the book. Great photos by the way. Some real fun stuff!
