Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A meticulously researched work from one of America's leading golf historians, The Book of Golfers represents a unique addition to the game's grand literary history, profiling nearly 1,300 of its most important people dating from the fifteenth century to the present. Arranged in encyclopedic form, The Book of Golfers engagingly covers nearly 1,000 players from 33 countries, nearly 200 of the game's greatest architects and writers, and all manner of colorful ancillary figures. Providing biographical, statistical, and anecdotal information for each, it is by far the most thorough volume of its type ever created.

Though clearly one of golf's ultimate reference books, The Book of Golfers is penned in the author's easy, award-winning style, making for a pleasant, often amusing read that defies the dryness inherent to standard Who's Who volumes.

It also includes key statistical information for all of the greats as well as a highly detailed appendix comparing/ranking the records of the best players and course designers. Both enjoyable to read and invaluable to reference, The Book of Golfers promises to serve as the definitive guide to 600 years of golf's most important and colorful people.
