Customer Reviews

A beautiful book that's packed with golf history

A terrific book that features striking photographs of current PGA Tour players and players dating back to the mid-19th century. Extremely well-written and informative, this book really gives you an overview of golf history through the descriptions of the 50 greatest players and their importance to the game of golf. The book includes a great chapter on Tiger Wood's mental abilities.

The best of the best

The selection of the top 50 golfers is thought-provoking, particularly with Tiger Woods selected above Jack Nicklaus as No. 1. This book really does celebrate the greatest golfers in history and provides detailed information on each one. The chapters on Tiger and the Palmer/Player/Nicklaus era are extremely informative and well-written. The photography and graphic presentation are exceptional, from the modern color photos to some great black-and-white shots that date to the 19th century. A great addition to anyone's golf library, from the expert to the casual fan.
