 Not very useful May 8, 2007

I have to agree with the reviewer below. Too much chit chat. Barely any useful picture of the holes or of the hole field layout.
From a regular player, this book is basically disappointing.
 golfaholic gift! January 18, 2007
I have gifted my golfing friends with this book for Christmas and others are jealous! It is an exciting excursion through the top golf courses worldwide, many of which avid golfers have either played or dreamed of playing. Those lucky friends are planning their next vacations around playing the courses with the most holes mentioned. It has become a game with everyone reporting to me how many holes they have played! The descriptions are tuned to a golfer's ear and the photographs are brilliant. Indexes make it easy to find favorites. This is a most welcomed addition to the golfer's library!

I thought that the book was too small and many of the golf courses did not show pictues of the holes but rather a professional hitting a golf ball which could have been any where.
For Example, pg 92 Kooyonga Golf Club, hole No2 has two pictures of two golf pro's hitting golf balls with no picture of the golf hole itself. Similarly on page 24, Royal Melbouren GC hole No. 1, no picture but two close ups of golf pro's.
Los Angeles Country Club Nth Course, 3 holes , no pictures.
National Golf Club, Moonah course, 6 holes, not one picture.
Additionally, the structure of the book is poor as it should have depicted every golf course by hole in alphabetical order. Ie start with Aa Saint-Omer GC pg 1 and finish with Zaudin Golf Club on page 952.
Instead they have decided to chapterize the book from chapter 1 (1st Hole) through to the 18th chapter (18th hole) and fill each chapter with different holes from different clubs. If I want to see the holes of Spyglass Hill GC I Have to go to pgs. 44, 70, 164 and 648.
Great concept for a book but dissapointing in its design and structure.

I am not a golfer, but gave one as a gift. The reaction was so good that I am now routinely using it as a gift for golfers. [Even a non-golfer can enjoy the great photos.]
