5.0 out of 5 stars Great club! Great history! Great book!, November 3, 1999

This review is from: Baltusrol, 100 years: The centennial history of Baltusrol Golf Club (Hardcover)

As part of my hobby, I have read 50-60 club histories covering the older clubs in both the US and the UK. This is clearly one of the very best. The outline, organization and text are excellent, but I was most taken by the quality of the pictures -- both contemporary and historic. Any golfer interested in clubs, history and tradition should treat himself to this high quality work. My compliments!

Great book on two levels; a history of the club and a good
insight on Tillinghast's design theories
