Product Description
Part golf writer's diary, part travelogue and part investigative sports book, this analysis of professional golf world-wide begins with the Ryder Cup in September 1993 and ends with the World Championship in December of the following year. A season in world golf is documented, with each chapter revealing a facet of the personality of a leading player or of the game as a whole. Profiles of people as diverse as Laura Davies and John Daly are interwoven with subjects such as Turnberry, the teachings of David Leadbetter and how the social structure of the women's tour differs from that of the men's. This book takes a look at the organizations that influence the game the most, goes behind the scenes of tournament golf and provides insights into today's players.
