Chris Whales

This fully updated and revised book celebrates 55 of the world’s great golf courses, with the authoritative text drawing on Gary Player's first-hand knowledge of each of the courses and his standing as a course designer. For five decades, golf superstar Gary Player - winner of 9 Majors, and himself a golf-course designer of repute - has been playing the world's top courses. His selection here includes ancient British links crafted by nature, such as St Andrews, Muirfield, Carnoustie and Royal Lytham; landmark courses created between the wars during the Golden Age of golf course design, such as Augusta (host to the Masters), Cypress Point, Pine Valley and Wentworth; and examples from around the world of the work of top postwar designers who have used classic features with their own signatures. Each golf course is described in terms of its history and its main architectural features, and is accompanied by superb photography. Player's first-hand experience of the challenges posed by each course and his appreciation of the history of golf-course design underpin this sumptuous book.
