5.0 out of 5 stars
An engaging discussion of golf and its role in American culture, April 3, 2009
This review is from: Golf in America (Sport and Society) (Hardcover)
George Kirsch's book, Golf in America, deftly combines a history of the sport and its role as a reflection of American cultural changes. The inviting style, the obvious depth of the author's knowledge, and the fine use of appropriate anecdotes makes this book a great read, and a thought-provoking one as well.
I'm so pleased that I came across this book, and I would recommend it for golfers as well as for those just curious about the evolution of the sport.

The other national pastime, April 12, 2009
This review is from: Golf in America (Sport and Society) (Hardcover)
A wonderful book, even for a non-golfer. Highly recommended for anyone, including those who want to understand why hitting a ball with a stick can be so addictive.
