  Designed for both the serious golfer and the casual observer, this encyclopaedia examines each and every aspect of golf, from its origins in Scotland to its modern status as a leading money-spinning sport. The book profiles the great champions and great championships, the main tours and classic courses, women's golf and golfing architects, covering throughout both the amateur and professional game. From the feathery ball to the balata, from Harry Vardon and the revolutionized grip through to David Leadbetter's restructuring of Nick Faldo's swing, the history and evolution of golf are analyzed in detail. It concludes with a statistical record section.
