If you want a step-by-step history of his life, this book is it. The author does his homework with the stats and facts. Unfortunately, the wit and life falls short.

This review is from: Jimmy Demaret: The Swing's the Thing (Hardcover)
I enjoyed the book, it provided great insight to a golfer that I never had the pleasure to watch play. Reading a good golf book like this helps the winter pass more quickly!
