Customer Reviews

I Hated Golf until I read this book

This is a book that draws you in and gives you an appreciation for the game. Golf's history is filled with drama, embarrassment (Much I'm sure the PGA would like to hide) and hope. I give Burgess much kudos for enlightening the public on the true history of golf.
