Description
Social interaction, sporting competition, and all this in the most beautiful natural surroundings, usually without time pressure, are the compelling arguments in favour of golf. Golf superstars such as Tiger Woods and celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Catherine Zeta-Jones have ensured that the sport is losing its outdated image. Despite the ongoing professionalisation and opening up of the sport, its social prestige remains. Golf stands for style, elegance, and sophistication.
Golf – The Ultimate Book presents the most exclusive, sophisticated, and impressive golf resorts worldwide. Sometimes against an Alpine mountain backdrop, sometimes on picturesque sandy beaches, and often including luxurious accommodation and comprehensive wellness offers.
In addition to these dream locations, the book also contains other exciting stories from the world of golf—from famous players and cheats, club makers and space travellers to gangsters, boxers, and billionaires. This revised edition of the bestseller is also dedicated to women in golf, highlighting the changing role of women in the traditional sport and recognising their achievements.
Text in English and German.

He also wrote columns and reports for the trade magazine Golf Journal for many years. Maiwald spends much of his leisure time at the beach, where Grado boasts seven kilometres of fine sand.
