Summary: A classic
Comment: Where were all these essays hiding? What fun if you love courses and golf. The first book that makes golf architecture really understandable and fun. The old writings are especially funny and interesting, and the editor sets them up nicely and conscisely. Of the modern architects, Crenshaw's essay was the only disappointment because I wanted to read more of what he had to say. But he still makes a great case for the need for more short par-3's on modern golf courses. Also, great artwork, photos and production too.

Summary: A quick read & lasting pleasure
Comment: A real nice addition to any golf library. A rich and varied collection of essays, with some interesting vintage B&W photos of famous courses in their earlier states before today's "advanced" agronony. Most of the book is from golf's "Golden Age" - and is fascinating reading, raising some thoughtful insights for today's players. A plus and minus: the essays are short, three and four pagers...so it's excellent bedtime reading, but may lack a little depth for true students of the game who may want more. If you enjoyed Spirit of St. Andrews, or one of Tom Doak's books, you'll like this, too. In all, a very entertaining, balanced anthology for we duffers who enjoy delving a little deeper into the history, heritage and color of the game.

Summary: Great collection of essays re: the art of golf architecture
Comment: This book presents a very interesting cross section of noted golf architects and historians presenting their views on golf architecture. There is so much to be learned from these Masters. It all serves to help us get more out of the game we love and the courses we play. A highly recommended read for any golfer.
