Following Through [Paperback]

Herbert Warren Wind (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Wind is a sportswriter who describes the game of golf with the same precision and sensitivity that Roger Angell brings to his books on baseball. In this volume of pieces taken from his column in the New Yorker , Wind writes of people, places, and events. Whether he is describing his favorite golf course (St. Andrews), some of his favorite golfers (Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino), or the Masters 50th Anniversary Tournament, he is alsways articulate and not afraid to pursue his subject in meticulous detail. One chapter simply entitled ``Mr. Crosby'' extols Bing's contributions to the game and is a delight to read. Essential for sports collections. Samuel Simons, Memorial Hall Lib., Andover, Mass.

This review is from: Following Through (Paperback)

Mr. Wind is the finest writer of golf in America and perhaps
the world. His stories bring the events to life and make you
feel as if you were there.

I recommend that you pick up as many of his books as you can
(it will take a lot of searching in used book websites and
stores, but it is worth it)

*on a side note, a couple of months ago, after writing Mr.
Wind a letter, it was a great honor for me to recieve a letter
back from him which is now framed and hanging on the wall"
