I have recently read this book and I would highly recommend it for fellow GCA enthusiasts. It is light, enjoyable and entertaining.

If it is the one I am thinking about, the title is ON Course

If that's the case, then this thread is..."Off Course"...

They both exist. Forrest also published a little booklet called ‘Course Brains.

LOL — Maybe ‘Off Course’ would be a good title. Mark is right, ‘Of Course’ is an anthology of sorts whereas ‘On Course’ was a little dictionary of GCA terms, now on line via my website. https://www.forrestrichardsongolf.com/writings/?x=/#a182070408cd2bb43

I don't think so. Nobody besides Anthony Gray is going to write a book about Kalen Braley's golf game.
