Today a bonus pod where we open up the Talk Birdie To Me 'book club'. We originally considered discussing Red Dog, or Little Women, or Pride and Prejudice, but then we thought we'd discuss golf books instead. Seems to make sense.

So today, Nick and Mark discuss some of their favourite books (listed below) and then we chat to film-maker and author Peter Dickson about his new golf book 'The Embedded Lie', which he describes as his 'love letter to golf'. So sit in your favourite chair, whack your feet up on a poufle, pour a lazy drink - and join the Talk Birdie To Me book club.

And Mark tells a great story about Jean van de Velde in The Open!

Nicks' favourite books:

• Harvey Penick - Little Red Book
• Mark Fisher - The Golfer and the Millionaire
• Dr Bob Rotella - Putting Out Of Your Mind
• John Feinstein - A Good Walk Spoiled

Marks' favourite books:

• Nick O'Hern - How to Play Your Best Golf
• Nick O'Hern - Tour Mentality
• Steve Keipert and Tony Webeck- Aussies at The Open
• Peter Thomson - Lessons I Have Learned
• Paul Daley - Ben Hogan: The Yardstick of Golfing Greatness

Peter Dickson's book The Embedded Lie can be purchased here.
