Harvey Penick's Little Red Book by Harvey Penick; Abridged MP3 Audio Book; Narrator Jack Whitaker

The classic book of golf wisdom from the game's greatest teacher.

The Little Red Book has become required listening for all players and fans of the game of golf, from beginners to seasoned pros. The legendary Harvey Penick, who began his golfing career as a caddie in Austin, Texas, at the age of eight, worked with amaizing array of champions over the course of nearly a century, dispensing invaluable wisdom to golfers of every level. Penick simplifies the technical jargon of other instructional books and communicates the very essence of the game, and his Little Red Book is full of inspiration and homespun wisdom that reflects his great love of golf as well as his great talent for teaching.

Harvey Penick and Bud Shrake The late Harvey Penick's association with golf and with the Austin (Texas) Country Club dates back to 1913, when he began there as a caddie. This was his first book. Bud Shrake, a former newspaper columnist and Sports Illustrated writer, is also a novelist, screenwriter, and author of three best-selling nonfiction books. He would still rather play golf than be President.
