A fair look over the last century of golf November 12, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The modern-day grand slam, established in lines with the rise of the professional game and the emergance of the Masters tournament, takes place on the great courses of Britain and the US. The tales which have come from these often epic confrontations on the most esteemed playing fields are many. A focused effort to catalog them was made in this volume.
Anyone familiar with golf will know many of the stories here-in: the original Grand Slam of Bobby Jones, the rise of Nicklaus, the fall of Hogan, Palmer, and Watson at Olympic. This all-in-one volume covers many of the venues up to 1991 for the majors, while leaving a few on the side for the sake of greater coverage of the more important locales.
Two things that could use a tweek if an updated edition is released is full course layouts (at present there are many that only introduce a few holes), and greater information on the "classic Slam" (US and British ametures) duels. Additional notes regarding all the changes that have been made to courses since the 90s (greater in total, it would seem, than those made before) will also be needed.
Overall, not a bad reference, but not the thing to buy if you are interested in the courses themselves. For that, you should go to the World Golf Atlas or any other, more general book.
