5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone who loves golf, March 28, 2002

This review is from: A Love Affair with the Game (Hardcover)

Sandy Tatum's Amateur golfing career spans every facet of the game and has involved personalities from all walks of life. His book is a fascinating collection of short essays and thoughts about his remarkable life in golf. It is funny, perceptive, and engaging. And there is a short but splendid introduction by Sandy's close friend, Tom Watson. I recommend it to anyone who has ever picked up a club or just enjoyed watching others play.

This review is from: A Love Affair with the Game (Hardcover)

It's a life that only a few of us could dream of. Stanford grad, Navy vet, Rhodes Scholar, Stanford law school graduate and then an amazing career in law and golf. Became head of the USGA and has been instrumental in the development of golf and architecture since the last 1960's. Fantastic.
