The Johnnie Walker Encyclopedia of Golf
Top golfers have achieved the status of international stars and the professional game is now big business: and yet, despite the huge media attention and the commercial pressures, the game of golf has remained true to the principles embodied in the first rules drawn up in Edinburgh 250 years ago; it is still a contest of honour and skill.
The Johnnie Walker Encyclopedia of Golf is a celebration of the game's heritage and its continuing appeal to people from every walk of life. A beautifully illustrated work of reference from A to Z, it covers every aspect of golfing history from its humble origin in Scotland through to the excellence of the professional game today.
There are entries on great players past and present-the early professionals, the superstars like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino and Nancy Lopez, and the great of recent years such as Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman. Also covered in detail are the major tournament which have produced such excitement through the years Britain's Open Championship, the Masters at Augusta, and the Ryder Cup. There are appreciations, too, of some of the world's most challenging and most attractive courses.
And there are informative articles on subjects as varied as the Professional Golfers' Association, the history of golf equipment, the Royal and Ancient Club and the game's governing bodies, the intricacies of the handicapping system, the trends and fashions in golf design, and the development of golf in different corners of the world.
