THE IMMORTAL BOBBY - H/C GOLF BOOK
Few people understand the game of golf better than Robert Trent Jones, Jr. In this book, he draws on his life-time of experience as both a designer and a player to teach golfers how to improve their game by analyzing each hole from a designer’s perspective – how to beat the course by outwitting its architect. From tee to green, from fairway to rough, Jones decodes the designer’s intentions, explaining how architects use optical illusions, elevation changes, forced carries, trees, sand, and even different types of grasses to challenge a golfer’s playing skills. He then presents expert strategies for counterattack – from constructing the ideal approach shot to taking advantage of the wind and playing across water. Peppered with delightful personal anecdotes about the construction of many of the world’s most dramatic golf courses, illustrated throughout with dazzling color photographs and instructive diagrams and drawings, Golf By Design is a not-to-be-missed guide to one of the world’s best-loved pastimes.
GOLF BY DESIGN-PB GOLF BOOK

His fears, his dark side, his secrets, his legend are richly documented as no one ever has before by award winning golf writer Al Barkow. 68 years after bursting onto the national tournament golf scene, "Slammin'" Sam Snead remains the standard.
