9 Holes - Should be Nine Stars

Loved the book from this sports writer and authority. I read through it in 1 sitting. Loved the B/ W photos. Most people, like myself would prefer to play 18 holes. This book makes you want to take an adventure out to find a 9 hole course. Lots of history and a good read! Can't wait for Mr. Pioppi's 3rd book, although he is probably out there right now playing 9 holes.

A great golf course book

This is a very fun book about nine hole golf courses. Appears to be well researched and is very well written. Pioppi make a very strong argument for the inclusion of nine hole courses when discussing great golf architecture. Each chapter has depth and a complete narrative. Well done.

Nine Holes Of Golf - Challenging and Fun

The author does an excellent job in describing great nine hole courses around the country. His side bars and vingettes on some of the courses make for extremely entertaining reading. Once you have finished the book, you will want to play the courses. Just the chapter on Fenwick in Old Saybrook makes the book worth reading.

Thanks, Tony!

To The Nines is a fabulous read for golf fans. Mr. Pioppi speaks for all of us who love golf, and especially those of us who grew up on or experienced a nine-hole course for what it is -- a true golf experience. Mr. Pioppi's writing brings the reader along on his travels to these true jewels of golf, and it was a pleasure to go along for the ride.

Long overdue, excelent research, enlighting

A wonderful study of the begining of golf courses and how they were improved or destroyed. A flint to spark the challege for the reader to go out and play time lasting 9 hole courses as they were and are today.
