A Must Read For Every L.A. Sports Fan
I really enjoyed this book. It was a really fun read. I learned a lot of things and found a lot of fascinating facts from this book. Every L.A. Sports fan should read this book, you will not be dissapointed.

Great Bathroom Reading
This book is a great read and should be on the back of every guys toilet!Great facts about sports in Los Angeles.The book is funny and knowledgable.

Every L.A. Sports Fan Needs This Book!!
I love this book!! Once you get through one list you'll want to go on to the next one. Great insights from Matt "Money" Smith, and Steve Hartman. I especially enjoyed the guests they asked to submit their own list. Kobe Bryant, "Big Game" James Worthy, Jimmy Kimmel, Jim Hill, and many more. If you love Los Angeles like I do, and you were born and raised here, you NEED to get this book!!!

Loved this book. Gave me a sweatpants boner
I absolutely loved this book. If you grew up in Southern California and were a sports fan, you need this. Even if you didn't, you'll get great insight into the LA sports scene over the past sixty years. It brought back so many memories. Lakers, Dodgers, Bruins, Trojans, Angels, Kings, Ducks, Raiders, Rams, extreme sports, high school..... there are more lists in here than you can possibly dream of. A little heavy on the Lakers stuff, but this is a Lakers town so that has to be expected. My favorite lists were the top 10 Chickisms (words or phrases that Chick Hearn came up with), the top 10 sports video games, and the list of current and former LA athletes they used to build the perfect or super athlete (Michael Cage's shoulders are dead on). Explaining all of the Chickisms to my wife and son was a blast and it made me miss the man that called the first ever Laker game that I watched on tv even more. Trying to figure out who put what list together or who wrote each blurb was also fun. If it was witty and humorous, I assumed that Money wrote it. If it was about the Raiders or the Daily Bruin, I assumed Hartman wrote it. This is maybe the best bathroom book of all time. Every time I hit the john at my house, I'll be picking this book up to look back into the Los Angeles sports scene that I remember growing up. ... Read more

Best Book in this subject
This book is a MUST for those interested in this area of knowledge. Written by 2 authorities, it is well organized, easy to read, and with a deep treatment of this subject, which is both a developing area in sports and one of the most difficult to find sources for learning. Well organized, it starts with some introductory chapters, where the theory behind this subject is outlines, together with the starting blocks to build any system for almost any sport. Then it follows a series of chapters where planning, developing and designing notationaal analysis are learned with practical "real life" examples for most sports. The authors describe very well the different types of notational analysis systems (hand, computer, video systems) with pros and cons of each one. The book is full of examples. Its only drawback is that in dealing with dessigning computer systems, they are based in old software, mostly BASIC language. After (and while) reading it one can find it is a full source of practical knowledge, most of the ideas are ready to use in most cases, and the reader will learn all what is necessary to develop notational analysis.One can only feel proud for buying it. For all interested in the science of notational analysis this is definitevely a Bible ... Read more

Product Description
Today's top golf writers debate and rank the sport's greatest champions

Armed with a veritable who's who of top golf journalists, Golf's Greatest delves through the past 80 years of golfing history to tackle the most debated question in the game: Who really are the greatest golfers of all time? If you put the all-time champions on an equal playing field today, who would reign victorious? How much would yesterday's stars earn in today's dollars? Weaving together a unique combination of the game's historical feats with modern-day statistical analysis, the world's greatest golf writers offer 18 original essays on the world's greatest golfers, including vivid portraits of Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.

Contributing writers include:

• Mike Purkey, president of the Golf Writers of America
• Ben Wright, CBS broadcaster and golf correspondent for the Sunday Times
• Jaime Diaz, senior writer for Golf Digest and the New York Times
• John Garrity, senior writer for Sports Illustrated
• John Hopkins, golf correspondent for the Times

Original essays?
Although much of this book is excellent, I am afraid to say that the publishers, by telling us that the essays are original, have sold the book under false pretences. An anthology of classic golf writing, a miscellany of vintage articles familiar to the serious fan, can be worthwhile - but only if it is made clear that the essays are not original. If you're new to the game, by all means start here. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.

Great concept, Great Title, Flawed selections
The ongoing debate about golf's greatest performers should make its way into a book such as this, and "Golf's Greatest 18" is a great title.I even liked the mini-bios of the players, including some stories that I haven't heard before, such as when Trevino hustled Seve during an exhibition in Europe. And I agree with most of the selections here.Except.....leaving out Harry Vardon, and putting in Greg Norman just shows the bias of these writers toward the modern game.Vardon was THE dominant player of the beginning of the 20th century, and Norman, while he certainly had the potential to be included here (as did Tom Weiscopf and Johnny Miller), was a flawed player.End of story. ...
