Pete Dye Golf Courses: Fifty Years of Visionary Design (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Fiendishly difficult and spectacularly beautiful, Pete Dye’s golf courses are among the most exciting in the world. In this volume, 130 were selected to honor his 85th birthday—among them such famous marvels as Teeth of the Dog, PGA West, TPC Sawgrass, and Black Wolf Run, but also less well-known courses that will come as a revelation to golfers everywhere.

 

Magnificent course photographs, many made especially for this volume by Ken E. May, Dye’s photographer of choice, enhance a witty and irreverent text by golf writer Joel Zuckerman. Tributes by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Greg Norman introduce Dye’s work and highlight his achievements and his place in the pantheon of great golf course architects. Anecdotes by golf pros, clients, and associates—often hilarious—help make this a must-read book about one of the most colorful characters in the history of the game.

About the Author

Joel Zuckerman, a.k.a. the Vagabond Golfer, was recently called “one of the most respected and sought-after golf writers in the Southeast” by Golfer’s Guide. He’s usually found in either Savannah, Georgia, or Park City, Utah.
