 Excellent Recollection of the Birth of Professional Golf May 9, 2008
This book is an excellent history of the birth of PGA golf in America. It goes into detail the lives of many of the great players who elevated the game to today's level. Such greats as: Ken Venturi, Ben Hogan, and Byron Nelson; along with several amateur players. This is a must read for any golf nut!
Fascinating Book for Golfers May 2, 2008
I loved this book and so did my husband. It does help that I knew and worked with Harvie and that I used to go watch Bing Crosby Tournaments in the 70's.
very good April 28, 2008
Lots of drama and even more background on the characters involved. Very good book, not in the league of The Greatest Game Ever Played, but quite good and worth the money.
 The Match: the Day the Game of Golf Changed forever April 28, 2008
A great enjoyable look at the game of golf before it became the "professional" game that it is today. The weaving in and out of the four players life stories as the Match is beautifully told is masterful in itself. If you have any appreciation for the history and game of golf you'll love this book.
A Wonderful Golf Story April 18, 2008
Mark Frost presents a wonderful golf story that is easily read. The reader will learn about some of the greatest golf legends of the twentieth century: Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Ken Venturi and Harvie Ward, who I had never heard of until reading this story.
Also of interest is the story of Cypress Point golf course, which Alister MacKenzie claimed to be one of his best designs.
There are a lot of books about golf, but this is one of the few that is worth reading. Good stuff! You won't be disappointed.
