Generally interesting October 30, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Held my interest. I found the various locations to be enthralling. But I, too, was put off by the several typos I found. That shouldn't appear in any published work.
The book itself was fairly well done. Recommended for hard core enthusiasts.

Very disappointing. Nothing new in this and I suspect, little that has been contributed by Alliss. It's just a cut and paste of very well known bits - anyone who has read more than 5 golf books (not instruction books) will know 98% of what's in this one. It also has numerous typographical errors suggesting a sloppy job overall - Billy Caspar (Casper), George von Elme (it's Elm I think), Ledbetter (Leadbetter), it has Gene Sarazen "chipping" from a bunker on the Postage Stamp hole at Troon which is possible but doubtful, and Chick Evans playing in 50 consecutive 'Amateur Opens' (an oxymoron, Amateur Championship is surely meant). There are other errors but I read the whole thing in an hour looking for something of interest and found none.
