Click Here | Amazon.com: For the 1998 edition of its guide to the best golf facilities, Golf Digest asked its readers to rank every course they played in the previous year according to "overall golf experience, the value for the money, and the standard of service at the facility." The results, comprehensive enough to sate even the most information-hungry player, are collected in this thorough guide that is sure to be valued by duffers and pros alike. A quick peek at the opening section reveals rankings for "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses 1997-98" (Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey and Augusta National, home of the Masters tournament, come out on top), "The Five Star Courses," great-value and good-value facilities, and facilities offering great and good service. Dig a little deeper and you'll find listings for 5,000 courses in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the islands--Abaco and Aruba to Tobago and the Turks and Caicos. Each listing includes the rating, from one to five stars, as well as such information as the course phone number and approximate directions, instructions for booking a tee time, number of holes on the course, whether golf carts are available and what the walking policy is, the length of the season, green fees, and whether metal spikes are allowed. Trivia buffs will enjoy learning when each course opened and who the architect was, in addition to the par, yardage, U.S. Golf Association course rating, and slope. All of this is complemented by comments from Golf Digest readers. The King's North Course at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club in South Carolina, for example, is described as one of the "top of the line public courses.... Most memorable hole: par 5 with island fairway.... Arnie [Palmer] did a fantastic job.... Course much tougher after redesign, some tricked up holes." With facts, figures, and the inside lowdown from players around the world, Golf Digest's Places to Play surely is "as essential to golf as your favorite putter." |

Click Here | Product Description: Golf course architect Stanley Thompson was a genius. Shortly after his death, the Ottawa Citizen wrote of him: He left his mark on the Canadian landscape from coast to coast. No man could ask for a more handsome set of memorials. Jim Barclay has now written this definitive account of Stanley Thompsons careera career that in some ways is stranger than fiction, but was immensely contributive to the creation of the playing fields of golf. Known as the Toronto Terror, Stanley was not without his faults, but certainly no one can deny that he was one of the most colourful figures in the history of course design, a profession that is not immune to flamboyance. |

Click Here | Amazon.com: The simplicity of The Golf Doctor's format remains an antidote to the convoluted mechanics filling most instructionals. Jacobs doesn't want you to twist your body in a knot; he just wants to help you hit the ball where you want it to go. To that end, he provides 25 "Lessons" to address specific problems and presents sound advice for eight specific "Situations." Say your shots generally start out straight but soon veer off drastically to the right--the golfer's malady called the slice. Find the appropriate diagnosis to fit the disease. (In this case it's right up front in Lesson One.) Jacobs first gives a concise description of the problem, follows with a clear, illustrated explanation of what's going wrong (the clubface is open at impact), and finally guides you through an illustrated correction. It couldn't be easier, and the 25 faults he applies cover all aspects of the game. The Situations are set up just as simply. Say you're driving onto a hole that has hazards on the right. He prescribes several possible preventive measures for staying out of trouble. Other Situations deal with crosswinds, tight lies, and sloping terrain. As with the Lessons, all come with illustrated suggestions, dispensed in doses that are manageable in size yet potent enough to have immediate impact on the particular disorder. --Jeff Silverman |
