golfaholic gift!

I have gifted my golfing friends with this book for Christmas and others are jealous! It is an exciting excursion through the top golf courses worldwide, many of which avid golfers have either played or dreamed of playing. Those lucky friends are planning their next vacations around playing the courses with the most holes mentioned. It has become a game with everyone reporting to me how many holes they have played! The descriptions are tuned to a golfer's ear and the photographs are brilliant. Indexes make it easy to find favorites. This is a most welcomed addition to the golfer's library!

1001 Golf Holes You Must Play Before you Die

This book was a gift for my sister and brother-in-law. They seemed to like it.

Great gift for any golfer

I am not a golfer, but gave one as a gift. The reaction was so good that I am now routinely using it as a gift for golfers. [Even a non-golfer can enjoy the great photos.]

Terrace Downs New Zealand

A great birthday present from my daughter.Everyone justs grabs the book immediately and goes searching. I am however a little worried about the accuracy.Having recently played the beautifully scenic Terrace Downs course in Rakaia New Zealand I wonder about the description of hole no.16. It is shown as having a length of 220 yards!!!.This hole is about 140 yards maximum off the back tee.!! Even the commentary says the green is just a wedge away. I hope this example was an exception to the rule. Nonetheless a great book to have. All the best Andrew Hopkins Christchurch New Zealand
