[Larry Lynch · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a historical golf book. Loads of archival golf photographs and artworks from the 1950s and 1960s. Some terrific interviews with legends of the game such as Peter Thomson, Jack Nicklaus, Kel Nagle and Gary Player. The author also wrote/compiled the well acclaimed 'SwitchFoot' surfing books, that are also looking at the 1950s and 1960s era.
