Elegant and perceptive musings on the world's greatest game from the dean of American golf writers
This illuminating collection features many of Hebert Warren Wind's most famous essays, including "Jones Breaks Through," his masterful portrait of Bobby Jones's first major championship, won in an epic eighteen-hole playoff against Bobby Cruickshank at the 1923 US Open, and "North to the Links of Dornoch," an evocative travelogue that established the venerable course in the Scottish Highlands as one of golf's premier destinations.
Wind captures Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Ken Venturi in their prime, and brings readers back to an earlier era when Harry Vardon ruled the links. He profiles golf's female pioneers-Mickey Wright, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, and Joyce Wethered-and sings the praises of Bernard Darwin, "the greatest writer on golf the world has ever known." In his
Sports Illustrated deadline ode, "The 1958 Masters: Palmer at the Fateful Corner," Wind brings Arnold Palmer's first major championship to vivid life and coins Augusta National's most iconic and enduring term: "Amen Corner."
Lyrical, evocative, and insightful,
Herbert Warren Wind's Golf Book is a must-read for students of the game and fans of classic sports journalism.
