First published in 1976, The World Atlas of Golf was the first book to take a global view of the sport and the history and architects of course design. Now, over 30 years later, it's back and better than ever. Completely new text has been written by an expert panel comprising of course designers, ex-tour pros, leading journalists and commentators from around the globe, and covers the courses that are seminal in the history of the sport or simply demonstrate architectural brilliance. Sumptuous computer-generated artworks accompany each course, illustrating features in impressive detail, while 'cut away' illustrations of signature holes highlight their particular challenges and show the course architect's ingenuity.With feature pages that provide a thorough understanding of the golfing scene in every part of the world and maps showing the locations of key clubs, this is the book that will set the benchmark in golf publishing for the next 30 years.
