Review
Includes bios on 275 past and present players but doesn't read like a dry reference book and includes wonderful photography. (Tom Kensler Denver Post 1999-12-19)
This is an impressive book with beautiful illustrations. The information it contains is equally extraordinary ... This is a fascinating book for anyone who loves golf, or wants to learn about golfers. (Nancy P Reed American Reference Book Annual 2000-01-01)
Contains some fascinating accounts of miracle shots and near misses, tournaments and courses, along with a Fact File containing statistical information on each golfer. (Patricia Billing Good Times 2000-04-01)
