Golf

Golf offers a wealth of information and lively anecdotes about the game, its history, its greatest players, and its best courses.

Each chapter provides a combination of facts and fun as you explore player and course profiles, great moments, quotes, anecdotes, and lists. Recount the stories of golf's many legends--Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and more. Celebrate the sport's lighter, more playful side, such as when Roger Maltbie lost his $40,000 winner's check in a restaurant, or when 20-year-old Tom Kim took a mud bath retrieving a ball. Read about the game's greatest moments, including Gene Sarazen's double eagle at the 1935 Masters, Nancy Lopez's streak of five wins in her rookie season, and John Daly's out-of-nowhere victory at the 1991 PGA Championship. Mixed in are hilarious quotes and amusing stories about the great pastime of golf. Hardcover, 256 pages.
