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.
