 In her book, the Stanford
University freshman
explains the nuances of
obtaining exemptions into
events no matter the state of
one's golf game. Included is
a chapter on how to grace-
fully declare yourself
injured during any round
where you may not break
90. The introduction,
written by her father, Bo,
explains how best to cling to
your child and her money.
 John Daly's new and yet
untitled book will reach the
shelves without a conclu-
sion. He wrote the first half
or so of the book and then,

A s we are now in the
 NewYear, I feel it
 would only be fitting
to take a look into my
crystal ball and see what's in
store for us golfers in the
coming 12 months.
 I forsee 2008 will become
known as "The Year of the
Book."
 Books written by many of
golf's stars and want-to-be
stars will soon arrive at
stores. Here are a few
choices to consider at your
next Book of the Month
Club meeting.
 Michelle Wie's first book is
aptly named "Entitlement."

read the published few
chapters, but be left won-,

been.
 A new book from Rory
 Sabatini will teach golfers
 how to "Win Friends on the
 Golf Course." The six-page.
 book was written in about
 three minutes and-must be

 the ink, like Rory at the

Rory's wife.
 On the other side of the
coin, Ben Crane's long-
awaited book, "Golf My
Way," is still incomplete.
Crane began work on the
book while a senior in high
school. The publisher hopes
to have the book on the
shelves in time for the 2010
holiday season.
 A compilation book,
written by many of today's
PGA players, is finally ready.
The book, "How to Stretch
the Rules to Your Advan-
tage;' covers how to proper-
ly apply the rules of golf to
your greatest benefit. There
minutes exploring the pond
guarding the 16th green.
Who knows, you may save a
few shots and find a couple
ProVIs.
 Sergio Garcia's new book
deals with proper whine
selection. "El Diablo's Guide
to Whining" instructs the
golfer on the fine art of
which whine goes with
which poor shot. Golfers
need to know that the same
whine used for a bad
bounce is not the same as
the one used when the*
caddie gave him or her poor
advice or read the putt
incorrectly. This could be
the "must read" of the year;
 Jim Furyk's long-awaited
book "Starting Over and
Over AgaiY' ..will hiopefully
hit the shelves by su inir.
 Mr. Furyk has yet to find
the book quite to his liking.
He seems to be stuck in a
constant loop of reading the
book, re-reading the book,
getting ready to send it to
the publisher, then re-
reading it again and starting
over.
 Greg Norman's latest
book is not about golf. In
"How to Get Divorced for
Less Than $60 million," he
uses his personal experi-
ence to help others cope

is a wonderful chapter on
how to best lift, clean and
place your ball when
conditions are wet. Another
explains how to get a free
drop from atop a clubhouse
roof or from under a bush
when a television cable is
within 50 yards.
 "Aquaman's Guide to
 Sand Saves and Snorkeling"
 is Woody Austin's latest
foray into the world of
instructional books. Austin's
book, filled with fabulous
pictures and diagrams,
details how to hit those
pesky greenside bunker
shots and enjoy a few
difficult time in their lives.
 A book that should
 inspire millions was
 penned by Nick O'Hern. In
 "How to Hunt Down a
Tiger," he tells of how he
has taken down the world's
No. 1 golfer in match play
the past two years. Mr.
Sabatini's attempt to write a
similar book was thwarted
when Tiger Woods took his
pen from him.
 Finally, I believe that
Tiger must have given that
pen to his trusty caddie,
Steve Williams. In the pages
of his book, "A Caddie's
Guide to Photo Etiquette,"
Williams gives would-be
paparazzi tips on how to
prevent their cameras from
winding up at the bottom of
' lake.
 As for me;,I have yet to
begin my book. Parts of it
are somewhere in my head.
Perhaps some day they will
make it to the bookstore.
 Until then, keep reading
my column, right here,
every week. Happy New
Year!
