5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Golf Story   April 18, 2008
Mark Frost presents a wonderful golf story that is easily read. The reader will learn about some of the greatest golf legends of the twentieth century: Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Ken Venturi and Harvie Ward, who I had never heard of until reading this story.

Also of interest is the story of Cypress Point golf course, which Alister MacKenzie claimed to be one of his best designs.

There are a lot of books about golf, but this is one of the few that is worth reading. Good stuff! You won't be disappointed.



3 out of 5 stars For golfer's only   April 15, 2008
It is a well written book for the hard core golf enthusiast. It is probably a book that a non golf fanatic would not enjoy. However, if you love the game this is an entertaining read.


5 out of 5 stars Every Lover of Golf should read this history   April 8, 2008
Well written and full of great detail on both history and individuals.
Would recommend to anyone who loves the game or just loves sports.



5 out of 5 stars The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever   April 2, 2008
It is impossible to imagine any golfer not being absolutely thrilled with this book.

The description of the game makes you feel as if you are walking the course with the players and what players they were.



5 out of 5 stars Great story of a great match   March 31, 2008
A book for anyone who loves golf and its traditions. The conditions, the times and the principals will never converge again. At least we can savor the skillful retelling and wish that we could have been there to witness this singular event.
