  Golf is magic. Just talk to anyone who's played more than a round-or flip through two or three pages of this stunning new book, Golfers. With more than 65 beautiful black-and-white photos accompanied by descriptions of the locale and players, renowned photojournalist Dick Durrance truly captures the magic of this game. Durrance's images transport readers onto the fog-shrouded fairways, beside the green where a grandfather beams as his granddaughter sinks her first putt, and beneath the blazing Arizona sun, where Countryside RV Park residents see not sand and cactuses but fairways and greens. Along with anonymous golf enthusiasts, the book features golf legends Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, as well as celebrities from other fields who also happen to be avid golfers, such as Tico Torres, sculptor and drummer for Bon Jovi; NFL star Jerry Rice; and tennis champion Gigi Fernandez.This book reflects the magnificent range of people, places, and particulars that make golf such a passion and celebrates the deep feelings experienced by those who play the game. Golfers will treasure this book, and others will finally begin to understand.
