Customer Reviews

HWW is fantastic.

Mr. Wind is the finest writer of golf in America and perhapsthe world. His stories bring the events to life and make youfeel as if you were there. I recommend that you pick up as many of his books as you can(it will take a lot of searching in used book websites and stores, but it is worth it) *on a side note, a couple of months ago, after writing Mr. Wind a letter, it was a great honor for me to recieve a letterback from him which is now framed and hanging on the wall"

Takes you to the time Wind is writing about. PERFECT!

Wind has written about golf in the way we think it should always be. In the days of golf carts and seven minute tee times it is refreshing to read about golf the way it should be played. In the unhurried country of Scotland or the demanding bunkers of Oakmont - it doesn't matter. Wind takes you there with his words. From Bobby Jones to The Putter Tournament Mr. Wind writes with such description and heart that it is hard to put this timeless classic down. It made me want to read all of Wind's classics and go across the pond to play the game in the old country.
