Golf From The Inside

Mike Clayton is a golf professional who fell in love with the game as a twelve-year-old more than thirty years ago. It took him to all parts of the golfing world where he met, played with, and observed the best players of his generation. It also gave him the chance to play on the greatest courses on the planet.

Now, in this book, Mike Clayton presents his vivid insights into the best and worst of the game; what he makes of the careers of players as famous as Norman, Thomson, Ballesteros, and Woods; his thoughts on the futures of young players such as Aaron Baddeley and Adam Scott; and the stories of his golfing mates, such as Ian Baker-Finch and Wayne Grady.

Now a golf-course architect, he writes of the best courses around the world as well as the mecca of Australian golf-course architecture, the sand belt of Melbourne. Always known as a writer who says what he thinks, Mike's observations of golf's present state and the role its custodians have played in its alteration will interest all who love the game.
