73) One of best golf books ever written.
Truly one of the best, most informative , most enjoyable books of golf ever written. I absolutely could not put it down. I learned more about Hogan, Nelson, Venturi and Ward from this book than i knew in 55 years. Everyone that loves golf should read this book.

72) Great Book if you like to read about Golf
Amazing recap of a real Match between 4 golf legends. Frost works the story like a great golf course and weaves in a wonderful history of the 4 legends and the how the game of golf changed from an amateur world to the professional world that we all know today.

This book is for someone that loves golf....if they are not an avid golfer, I am not sure this book will hold the interest of a general sport fan or just novel reader.

I recommend the good, great read.

Enjoy

71) the match
Talks about and brings back the birth of the excitement of Professional Golf. The facts about the personal histories of the early major players are interesting.Their personal stories bring back memories of these men who were major factors in making the game what it is today.One of the players in this "Match" is a personal friend and the story of his life makes you understand why he became such a great individual.The story of "The Match" itself is exciting to read and very hard to put down. For anyone with even a remote interest in the game it will make you a fan.

70) Another great story that I'm glad to know
If you've enjoyed any of Mr. Frost's other books about golf and golfers (Grand Slam, The: Bobby Jones, America, and the Story of Golf or The Greatest Game Ever Played: A True Story) you will enjoy this one just as much. It's hard to believe this match actually happened. Mr. Frost really brings the story to life, with his usual style, deftly using suspense and interesting narrative that makes you feel like you were right there with the guys during this (now) famous match. The research behind the story must have been a monumental task, especially since many of the principles are no longer living and the match was not broadcast at the time. It is clear that Mark Frost loves the game of golf; its history, the players, the competition, and the compelling stories that have arisen from this greatest game ever played.

The Greatest Game Ever Played
You wouldn't think a movie that uses the game of golf as a metaphor for class struggle could be so entertaining. The Greatest Game Ever Played stars the charming Shia LaBeouf (Holes) as Francis Ouimet, a golfer who, in 1913, rose from caddy to U.S. Open champion at the age of 20--despite the resistance of the powers that be, who thought it unseemly for a lower-class plebian to play the sport of gentlemen. Ouimet's main competitor is Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane, The...
