Reviews

Golf anthologies are not in short supply, and this one brings together journalism, personal essays, and short fiction that have made numerous appearances elsewhere. Still, as an introduction to golf writing, it's hard to beat. All the stars are here--Darwin, Longhurst, Wind, Jenkins, Bamberger, Boswell--and the range of selections is wide, covering the great players, courses, and moments in the game's history, as well as offering reflections on what the editors label "the idiosyncrasies of golf." Even fans who know their golf lit will appreciate the convenience of finding between the same covers, say, Thomas Boswell on Pebble Beach and Herbert Warren Wind on St. Andrews. Clearly a top choice among golf anthologies. Bill Ott
