Subtitle Says it: History/Romance/Heartbreak Putters

This book started out great, then let down somewhat towards end. Beginning with "truths" about putting, this is best the book gets with humorous truths about putting which untruth themselves, as we putters who will try anything, everything to get the pill in the box will tell if anyone would listen. From here it goes to putter development which is nice section also revealing that many of today's supposed tech advances are just updates on much older putter technology, i.e. two ball schemes and weighting. Famous putts and putters is good, then let down with finale on collectors and getting rid of putters, which seems it could have done more in a more entertaining manner. Would have been neat to have more detail about likes of Scotty Cameron, etc. In any case, nice read if you're into putting, which golfers are.
