5.0 out of 5 stars
I Hated Golf until I read this book,
This review is from: Golf Links: Chay Burgess, Francis Quimet and the Bringing of Golf to America (Hardcover)
This is a book that draws you in and gives you an appreciation for the game. Golf's history is filled with drama, embarrassment (Much I'm sure the PGA would like to hide) and hope. I give Burgess much kudos for enlightening the public on the true history of golf.
