Just a great book about great golfers and great golf courses. A good amount of historical background is presented by the author. Biographical info is tremendous as well.

[Richard Walden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Superb essays from a master, the greatest golf writer since Bernard Darwin. He mixes coverage of events he covers with vignettes of past heroics and tragedies.

The guy has a big heart, and I admire that.

Well, simply the best golf writer every (no offense to Bernard Darwin) musing about Royal Dornoch, The "Venturi" US Open, and so on. Love golf? Check this out.
