Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Arnold Palmer, from his Foreword to the Darrell Survey Almanac:
"I turned professional in 1954 and won my first PGA Tour event in 1955. I can't remember playing professional golf when the Darrell Survey wasn't part of it.
"Eddie was this round little man who was always standing with a book and pen writing down the equipment he observed. He cared about getting things right. If he thought a player showed him one ball on the first tee, but switched to another ball on the course, he would be out there checking with his binoculars to make sure.
"I have always loved golf clubs, and I believe that having an exact record of all this is invaluable — it is part of golf's rich history. The Darrell Survey has long been the historian of golf equipment, working hard to get things right."

Tons of information on golf equipment,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Darrell Survey Golf Equipment Almanac 2000 (Paperback)
It was a great purchase! It has tons of information you can't get anywhere else. I now see why the Darrell Survey Company has held much of this information a secret for so long. It really helped me find all the right golf equipment that works best for me.

This is about as informative as a stats book on equipment could be. It has all the information to help a consumer make choices about golf equipment and even some neat stats just for giggles. I reccomend a quick read before you buy the next proffesionally endorsed product.
