Focuses on the great moments and monumental disasters at each hole
Illustrated to convey the unique challenges each hole presents
Revered as the most prestigious tournament in golf, The Masters commands nationwide attention, even among non-golfers. In The Masters: A Hole-by-Hole History of America’s Golf Classic, David Sowell presents the rich history and traditions of America’s premier golf event. Where past histories of The Masters have focused on stories about the management of the club at Augusta, Sowell offers a refreshing return to the action on the fairways and green. No other book provides a better view of the course, where success breeds legends and where failure can haunt even the most brilliant golfer’s career.
Sowell describes the unique features of every hole, and he tells how each was a stage for some of the greatest moments in golf history. From Nick Faldo’s incredible 100-foot putt on the 2nd hole during the third round in 1989, to the costly collisions that Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus all have had with the unforgiving heart of "Amen Corner," the 12th hole, you’ll learn all there is to know about the history and challenges of the Masters.
