Tales from Q School

Q School is a series of qualifying tournaments required of many professional golfers before they're eligible for the PGA tour. It is a realm of big-time heartaches and little-known players who harbor the dream of making a living playing tournament golf. This is clearly a book for golf junkies, maybe even golf wonks. Feinstein introduces such minute details about tournaments that at times it's hard to follow his reading. And this is the abridged version! The stories themselves sometimes lack the kind of dramatic structure that lets the listener know when one ends and another starts. The author is acceptable as narrator, but his volume seldom varies, so it's sometimes difficult to perceive when he's stressing a point. R.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
