5.0 out of 5 stars A fine book about golf in the Hilton Head area, April 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Golf in the Lowcountry: An Extraordinary Journey Through Hilton Head Island & Savannah (Hardcover)

I've been playing golf in the Hilton Head-Savannah area for several years, and this is a truly excellent representation of the courses, people and situations any visitor will encounter there.
The photos and drawings are really nice, and the text is both funny and compelling. I would recommend this book to any fan of golf in this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you want to head down South, June 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Golf in the Lowcountry: An Extraordinary Journey Through Hilton Head Island & Savannah (Hardcover)

Having never played golf in that neck of the country, I am sorely tempted to head down that way when I'm next on vacation. Zuckerman does a great job in making these courses come alive and his style of writing is breezy and fun --and with great insight into the sport of golf.
