Description
Fifty More Places to Play Golf Before You Die is the sixth book in Chris Santella's popular "Fifty Places" series, with more than 250,000 copies in print. It is the first to revisit golf, the series' most popular subject. In this new book, Santella interviews 50 luminaries in the golf world about their favourite courses and experiences.
The experts range from seasoned touring professionals, such as Amy Alcott and Fred Funk, to journalists and photographers like James Dodson and Brian Morgan. Additionally, golf course architects Robert von Hagge and Bob Harrison, as well as travel specialists Gordon Dalgleish and Mike Lardner, share their insights.
The book features old country favourites such as Royal Dornoch and Machrihanish in Scotland. However, it also includes venues that are far off the beaten path for golfers, like Nirwana in Bali, where the course runs beside rice paddies in the shadow of ancient temples. Another unique location is China's Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, where players tee off at 10,000 feet, at the base of the Himalayas.
More than 40 spectacular photos capture the allure of these unforgettable golf destinations, making Fifty More Places to Play Golf Before You Die a must-read for golf enthusiasts looking to explore the world's greatest courses.
