Book Description
In 1958, Leon Crump took a week off from his job to play golf, fell in with a group of gamblers and won $1,300. He hasn't gone back to work since. For almost 40 years now, he's been golfing his way around the South in a renegade career filled with rollercoaster highs and lows. On his best day, he's won a years salary; his worst set him back almost that much.
Filled with high drama and deadpan humor, this compulsively readable book tells how Crump became America's preeminent golf hustler. Along the way, it also reveals some hard-earned truths to help readers battle their way through their own weekend wars. There are hints on how to psyche yourself up and "read" opponents; advice on when and how to bet; and ingenious tricks such as "doctoring" clubs or driving balls out of Dixie cups. Offering a fresh, offbeat approach to golf, Drive For Show, Putt for Dough is sure to be a hit with today's crop of take-no-prisoners players.

This book is the autobiography of a golf hustler. Crump criss-crossed the country for decades bilking all sorts of people out of money with wacky bets and crazy schemes. At the end of the book is a guide to many different gambling games to play on the course. You won't find any tips to improve your game, but you will be entertained!

A fun read

Leon Crump's Drive for Show Putt for Dough was a truly enjoyable read. This book lets every golfer see what it is like to be the best golf hustler ever born. As with most memoirs the writing style wouldn't knock the socks off your high school english teacher, but, unlike most memoirs, they isn't a boring page in the whole book. Definately a recommended book to buy.
Excellent read

Maybe I am partial to Leon Crump since I grew up watching him play in Charlotte. I witnessed many of the things discussed in this book and a lot that was not.
