Item description from seller

As new condition heavy oversized (folio, over 12 inches tall) forest green boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition color photographic dust jacket. Includes Yards/Metres Conversion Chart; Foreword and Index. Profusely illustrated with color photographs, color maps, and color drawings and diagrams. "The great courses and how they are played: 70 Major golf courses of the world mapped and described in detail; Gazetteer of 118 outstanding courses with course cards and maps; The history and the challenge of some of the finest holes in golf; and Learning from memorable shots of past and present masters of the game." -- from the rear outer jacket. "Since its first publication in 1976, The World Atlas of Golf has been hailed as a "golf collector's dream", the book every golfer wold like to possess. Since 1976, too, most of the world's great courses have been subject to modifications in order to meet the ever-increasing demands of major tournaments as well as the general lengthening of the game at every level inspired by advances in design of both clubs and balls. This third edition of The World Atlas of Golf takes account of these changes in the course maps, the commentary and the course statistics. The combination of unique maps and superbly selected photographs plus the words of four of the most perceptice golf writers of all time enables the reader to really appreciate just why these courses are great and what it feels like to play on them. Their illustrious histories, the special challenges of their outstanding holes, the subtelties of their architecture are presented in such a way that the atmosphere of these places comes alive. The courses added to the North American section of the Gazetteer reflect the latest ideas and trends in golf architecture -- many are the work of Jack Nicklaus -- and set a pace in design as formidable as on the field of play. The complexities of modern course design would have been unimaginable to those early golfers knocking a feather ball around the sand dunes of the Scottish coast, but here, in this thoughtfully revised edition, the evolution from the past to the present greatness of the game of golf is superbly encapsulated." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
