The Greatest Courses and How They Are Played.
Revised and Updated.
From its birth on the coast of Scotland to the breathtaking courses of New Zealand, 'World Atlas Of Golf' underlines the sport as a global phenomenon. Seventy of the world's most important courses are illustrated and analysed in detail. Their histories, their architecture, the special challenges of certain holes and their spectacular landscapes give the reader a real sense of being there.
The Gazetteer section which completes the book gives maps, course cards and commentary on a further 100 outstanding courses throughout the world.
This edition has been updated to include five new courses in the main section - Royal Troon and Loch Lomond in Scotland, Ballybunion in Ireland, The Belfry in England and Valderrama in Spain. Text and pictures surrounding all the courses have been revised to include the great players of the modern era, including Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Greg Norman and the ubiquitous Tiger Woods. The Gazetteer section has also been completely updated.
The 'World Atlas Of Golf' will inform and delight all those who understand the beauty, architecture and history of this most challenging of sports.
