Every fall, veterans and talented hopefuls sweat through six rounds of hell at Q school to get a shot at the PGA Tour, vying for the 30 slots available.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As an avid golfer, this book was interesting to me. You could feel the excitement and heartache as young (and old) players tried to get their pga tour card at the end of the 2005 season. I liked the way that the overall stages of the tournament were covered as well as individual success (and tragedy) stories were told. A good read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I've read many of Feinstein's previous works and enjoyed some of them immensely. A Season on the Brink and A Good Walk Spoiled were outstanding. His last two books, however, have been disappointing. Perhaps his style is such that over time it begins to wear and grate on you. I could swear that he wrote a similar book on Q school some years ago. Much of the story seems very familiar, though with different names. The old 40 something year old pro trying for one last shot. The former major winner relegated to Q school. The hot young junior golfer suddenly struggling to make the show. I've heard it before and to make matters worse, Feinstein seems to repeat himself throughout the book. He tells a story in the foreward and then repeats it in the body of the book, perhaps to beef up a work that can easily be read in one sitting. If you watch the television special on Q school each year, you get the same story with video. Hold out for the TV special.
