Description
This lavishly illustrated guide combines two strong passions - golf and travel - in one spectacular book. It's a perfect planning dream book for those who want to play unusual courses and sample culture and environment around the globe. As a companion volume to the multi-part public television series airing in 2005, this spectacular book both inspires and involves the reader on vicarious visits to Japan, Scotland, United Arab Emirates, Southern California, and South Africa. As an additional bonus, a full episode featuring Scotland on DVD is included inside. Join the intrepid Pilot Productions team as they play top courses and golf resorts worldwide, and then share with them their outings off the course, as they celebrate national festivals, visit top tourist and historic sites, and enjoy relaxing or thrilling activities such as wine tasting, volcano hikes, and gliding. Each chapter covers the history of golfing in a particular country, advice on when to go and what to bring, as well as practical information to help readers plan their trip.
Selected courses are identified for each region, with full descriptions complemented by fabulous photographs and specially produced course graphics. In all, this is the perfect gift book for golfers and those who travel along with them.
