Description: GOLF LEGENDS: Players, Holes, Life On The Tours Hardback Book with Dust JacketWritten by Angus G. Garber IIIOver 125 pages with MANY black & white and color photosCopyright © 1988 by Michael Friedman Publishing Group, Inc. " Golf has fascinated and frustrated players and fans for ages. Although it may seem subdued and refined, the true sports fan knows that under the veneer of golf's highly stylized etiquette beats a heart of passion. It has moved players to tears, and even brought Arnold Palmer to his knees among the dogwood and azaleas at Augusta. Tommy Bolt used to throw clubs farther than he hit some shots. "Golf," said Lee Trevino, "can make you crazy." And now with GOLF LEGENDS, fans everywhere can read about the glorious gallery of golf's finest athletes and the infuriating courses they love to hate. " " Section One features insightful profiles of the game's most powerful personalities, like Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, and Byron Nelson, who once won a record 11 straight tournaments. Relive the days of Slammin' Sammy Snead, Ben Hogan, and the first female golf superstar, Babe Didrikson Zaharias. GOLF LEGENDS also chronicles the rise of Arnold Palmer and "Arnie's Army," the vast crowd that followed the superstar, and the latter-day stars, including Jack Nicklaus, Nancy Lopez, and others. " " Section Two introduces the world's toughest eighteen holes, picked by the players themselves. Tour the treacherous seventeenth at St. Andrews in Scotland, the dangerous fourth hole at Baltusrol Golf Club in New Jersey, the impossible, water-surrounded seventeenth hole at Florida's Tournament Players Club, and others. " " Section Three features a behind-the-scenes look at the PGA. Like other professional sports, golf also enjoys its share of characters, and the most interesting are profiled here. The popular Senior Tour is also examined, as well as the LPGA and its greatest players. The book concludes with an irreverent chronology of offbeat trivia, enough statistics to satisfy the most demanding fan, and much more. " Contents include: " Introduction Chapter One: The Players Chapter Two: The Best Eighteen Holes Chapter Three: The Tours: The PGA, The LPGA, and The Senior PGA Tour Chronology, Statistics, and Index " The book is in good condition except the last page was torn and taped.
