Reviewer: Angel Lee from Cleveland, OH
This is a fine book for the golf enthusiast anywhere. It is a fascinating history and celebration of the game played by those who love it. Beginning with the origins of golf in Ireland this is a story of dynamic personalities who helped popularize the game. The evolution of the tools of the game is included with many great photos of early equipment and memorabilia. The stories of the great local and international golfers of Ireland are told in detail with some great action photos. Contributions of others such as Arnold Palmer are included, as is extensive coverage of ladies' golf, which has always been popular in Ireland. One of my favorite things about golf is the beauty of the courses and the Irish ones shown here are among the world's most exciting and varied, carved into the natural landscape. Any golfer will find something of joy in this book.
